Chapter 3: Movement of substances across Membrane Student name: the Plasma
Form:
As a human, we need to fulfil our necessity such as food, drink, clothes and friends. In order to fulfil our necessity, we need to buy the food supply at store. So, we need to go out and back to our home.
This goes same with cell. A living cell needs substances from outside to undergo metabolic processes. At the same time, the metabolic process produce by-product that must be eliminated from the cell.
urea
CO2
If we enter the house trough door, the substances in and out the cells otherwise across the plasma membrane.
Short test.
What substances need by cell? ____________________ ____________________ ____________________
Carrier protein
Pore protein
Phospholipid bilayers
The plasma membranes which surround the cell separate the cell from its surrounding. The plasma membrane consist mainly of : phospholipids proteins
S. Singer and G. Nicolson proposed a fluid mosaic model to describe the plasma membrane. protein membrane dispersed throughout phospholipids bilayer and freely moving throughout the phospholipids.
Permeable
Semi permeable
Impermeable
The bottle represents the cell and the bottle wall represents the membrane. Here the beads represent the water molecules. The buttons represent the sugar/ glucose molecules. When you shake the bottle, what will come out? Does bead or button come out? Can you explain why this happen? __________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________
________
Diffusion is the movement of molecule from high concentration gradient to low concentration g gradient.
Short test.
Osmosis Movement of water molecule through a selectively permeable membrane from high concentration gradient to low c concentration gradient. What are the three types of substances movement do not need energy? ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ Can you explain what concentration gradient in osmosis is?

I am Larry, the snail. I have a sad story to tell you. This is about my cousin Gary. Gary had passed away a few weeks ago when he visited my auntie which lives in nearby garden. Today, I also want to visit my auntie, so please pray so I will be safe in my journey. Now, I have arrived at a junction. I see there are three passages that I can use to go to my auntie place. Which way shall I choose? Now, I am remembering before Gary died, he leaved to me some letter. This letter might be use to help me to make decision. Dear Larry, when I pass through the freshwater river something wrong happen to my body. I become expand and I feel like water enters into my body. I quickly return to land and rest at the secret pathway for a while. After a while I feel better. Then, I enter the seawater but The letter stops at there without leaving any more clues. What passage I must choose? Poor Gary, when he was found he is very thin. Maybe because he is shrink and this letter has been found under his dead body. Help me to choose the way.
1. Hypotonic Solution: The solution has a lower concentration of solutes than inside the cell. Water moves from the solution to inside the cell): Cell Swells and bursts open (lyse)
Hint!
2. Isotonic: The concentration of solutes in the solution is equal to the concentration of solutes
inside the cell. Water moves equally in both directions and the cell remains same size (Dynamic Equilibrium)
3. Hypertonic: The solution has a higher concentration of solutes than inside the cell. Water 8 moves out of the cell into the solution: Cell shrink.
Short test. Why each pathway gives different effect to the snail?
What can you relate between the snails stories with what happen to the animal cell in same situation?
Comparison of animal cell (red blood cell) and plant cell in Isotonic, hypotonic and hypertonic solution Analogy
Take enough amount of water Haemolysis -Cell in hypotonic solution (distilled water) Turgid -Cell in hypotonic solution (0.01 M sucrose solution)
What is the comparison between red blood cell, plant cell and the analogy condition? Red blood cell Human analogy Plant cell
10
Can you give another example that you know related to the concept of isotonic, hypotonic and hypertonic?
