AP Biology

The selectively permeable plasma membrane is composed of phospholipids and protein, which allow for its unique functions.A) DESCRIBE the structure and properties

of phospholipids and EXPLAIN the important roles of phospholipids in the plasma membrane.

B) EXPLAIN why proteins are an important component of the cell membrane, based on their structure and properties.

#2: Iodine diffused into the bag (blue/black); Glucose diffused out of the bag into the environment; Osmosis was also occurring bc it went into the bag as glucose diffused out

#3: Yes, iodine and glucose diffused, but the starch could not diffuse bc it was too big

#4: Osmosis occurred which caused a net flow of water into the bag increasing its mass; More water because the environment was hypotonic (less solute). Equilibrium was reached.

#5: Hypotonic because it had less solute than the bags

• Plant cells losing water in hypertonic solutions

• Shrinking• Cell membrane pulls away from outer

cell wall• Very rare• Opposite?

AP Biology

Movement of a substance across a membrane with no energy investment

Direction depends on concentration High concentrations to low

concentrations DOWN or WITH its concentration

gradient Types: diffusion, osmosis, facilitated

diffusion

AP Biology

Movement from high to low concentrations

2nd Law of Thermodynamics governs biological systemsuniverse tends towards disorder (entropy)

AP Biology

diffusion

osmosis

movement of water

AP Biology

Water is very important to life, so we talk about water separately

Diffusion of water from high concentration of water to low concentration of wateracross a

semi-permeable membrane

AP Biology

Direction of osmosis is determined by comparing total solute concentrationsHypertonic - more solute, less waterHypotonic - less solute, more water Isotonic - equal solute, equal water

hypotonic hypertonic

net movement of water

AP Biologyfreshwater balanced saltwater

Cell survival depends on balancing water uptake andloss

AP Biology

Cell (compared to beaker) hypertonic or hypotonic

Beaker (compared to cell) hypertonic or hypotonic

Which way does the water flow? in or out of cell

Isotonicanimal cell immersed in

mild salt solution example:

blood cells in blood plasma problem: none

no net movement of water flows across membrane equally,

in both directions

volume of cell is stable

balanced

Hypotonica cell in fresh water

example: Paramecium problem: gains water,

swells & can burstwater continually enters

Paramecium cell solution: contractile vacuole

pumps water out of cell ATP
