Diffusion and Osmosis

        Help!  

A
B
What cells need in order to work?   - Sources of energy - all required elements - oxygen for aerobic organisms - any cofactor that cannot synthesize (vitamins)  
🗑
Sources of Energy   - sugar - reduced organic compound- convert to ATP  
🗑
What by-products of metabolism must a cell release?   -CO2 -ethanol or lactic acid -oxygen produced in photosynthesis -nitrogenous wastes  
🗑
What if concentration is too high?   become toxic to cell  
🗑
Homeostasis   cell must maintain stable internal conditions  
🗑
Cell working with or against mechanisms of:   Diffusion  
🗑
Diffusion   substances move from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration  
🗑
Temperature above absolute zero   molecules are in a state of constant motion due to the heat energy imparted to them  
🗑
movement of particules at high energy   random  
🗑
What is the function of the molecule's temperature and molecular weight?   Velocity  
🗑
Diffusion of a substance?   directly proportional to the absolute temperature in degrees Kelvin and inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular weight  
🗑
Distance that molecules move without encountering other molecules depends on?   The nature of the material  
🗑
What is a concentration gradient   difference in concentrations  
🗑
Osmosis   -special case of diffusion -involves the passage of water through a selectively permeable membrane  
🗑
Selectively permeable membrane   a membrane that permits the free passage of water, but prevents or retards the movement of other substances  
🗑
Hypotonic   water moves in the cell where there's less water, cell swells  
🗑
Hypertonic   water moves out of the cell, cell shrinks  
🗑
Osmotic Pressure   Amount of water that will diffuse -as water moves into the cell, the pressure in the cell increases until the water ceases to enter  
🗑
Isotonic   osmotic pressure of both sides of a semipermeable membrane is equal -no change in cell shape or size  
🗑
Nonpolar compounds   the electrons are equally shared by the atoms sharing a bond, as in the long-chain portion of fatty-acid molecules- soluble in nonpolar solvents (hexane and ether) but no solubility in polar solvents (water)  
🗑
Partition Coefficient   The ratio of the solubility of a compound in a nonpolar solvent relative to its solubility in water; also directly related to the ability of compounds to penetrate cell membranes  
🗑
The higher the Partition Coefficient   the greater its chance of penetrating into cells  
🗑
The quicker a liquid moves into a cell...   the quicker pressure will be built up, and the sooner the cells will lyse  
🗑
Longer Carbon chain   =less polar= faster cell entry  
🗑
In the lab of Lipid solubility, which compound was fastest to lyse?   3M propyl alcohol (C3H7OH)= P.C= 0.156  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
