In order for the cell to
stay alive, it must meet
the characteristics of
life which include
taking nutrients in
and eliminating
wastes.
All of the cell’s
activities are, in one
way or another, tied
to the membrane
that separates its
interior from the

agency of a government/
nation responsible in
monitoring the goods
and services that are
imported and exported
from a country?
A nation has a custom
service that controls the
flow of materials across its
borders.
Similarlya cell has a cell

membrane that regulates
the passage of materials
across its outer boundary.
Aswith nations,
what moves in
and out of a cell
affects the cell’s
health and well
being.

energy.
• Molecules move along the
concentration gradients; from high to
low concentration.
• Move to equalize gradient – High
moves toward low
TYPES OF PASSIVE TRANSPORT
Diffusion
A. Simple diffusion
B. Facilitated diffusion
Osmosis
SEEING AND SMELLING DIFFUSION
1. Drop
some dye into a
beaker filled with water
and watch what happens.
Record and explain your
observation.
2.The teacher will spray a bottle of perfume from
one end of the room. After a few seconds or a
minute. Answer the following.
Q1 • Who among the class were able to smell the
air freshener first?
Q2• Who among the class were the last ones to
smell the air freshener?
Q3• How would you explain the phenomenon
wherein people in the same classroom smelled the
scent of the PERFUME at different times?
Diffusion • the passive movement of
small particles( atoms, ions
outside of or molecules) from an area
cell of high concentration to an
area of low
concentration( along the
concentration gradient).
• It continues until the
inside concentration of substances

of cell is uniform throughout.
CONCENTRATI
ON GRADIENT
is a gradual
difference in solute
concentration
between two areas.
it's the difference in
solute
concentration
between the
outside of the cell
Solutes here would move
by diffusion, or movement from
a higher concentration of
solutes to a lower
concentration of solutes in
order to equalize solute
concentration.
This evens out the concentration
DIFFUSION
HIGH to LOW concentrati

Activity: compare me!
The two types of

Diffusion
SIMPLE DIFFUSION
 Movement of molecules from high
concentration to low concentration.
 No carrier protein required( unassisted
diffusion)
 Passive transport( no energy required)
 diffusion of small, hydrophobic,
nonpolar molecules.( oxygen, CO2,
fats )
So, how do large,
charged, or
hydrophilic molecules
pass through the cell
membrane?
FACILITATED
DIFFUSION
 Movement of molecules from high to
low concentration gradient.
 Carrier protein required
 Passive transport( no energy
required)
 Diffusion of large, charge,
hydrophilic, and polar
molecules( glucose, sucrose, Na, K,
Facilitated Diffusion
-needs a carrier protein
Ion Channels
• Transport ions such as Na, K, Ca and
Cl
• Can’t pass through membrane w/o
channel

OSMOSIS
THANK
YOU!!!!!
PASSIVE TRANSPORT
OSMOSIS
Water makes up 70-95 % of
a living cell.
Since water is the most

abundant substance in cells,
its movements into and out
of cells is of vital
importance.
Water will continue to
move into and out of the
cell until concentration of
water molecules is equal
in each side of the
membrane.
(EQUILIRIUM)
OSMOSIS
 the diffusion of water through a
selectively permeable membrane like
the cell membrane
 Water diffuses across a membrane
from an area of high concentration to
an area of low concentration.
Semi-permeable
membrane is
permeable to water,
but not to sugar
3 TYPES OF OSMOSIS
1. HYPOTONIC
2. HYRERTONIC
3. ISOTONIC
HYPERTONIC SOLUTION
 Solutes greater outside

cell
 Fluid will flow out of cell
 HIGH concentration of solute outside than inside
the cell
When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the
water diffuses out of the cell, causing the cell to
shrivel/ shrink.
HYPOTONIC SOLUTION
Solutes greater inside

the cell
Fluid will flow into the
cell
When a cell is placed in a
hypotonic solution, the water
diffuses into the cell, causing the
cell to swell and possibly
explode.
ISOTONIC SOLUTION
contain the same
concentration of solute as
another solution (e.g. the cell's
cytoplasm).
BALANCE/ THE SAME concentration of
solute outside and inside the cell
When a cell is placed in an isotonic solution,
the water diffuses into and out of the cell at
the same rate.
The fluid that surrounds the body cells is
isotonic.
The cell will neither shrink nor swell

Many cells are isotonic to the
environment in order to avoid
excessive inward and outward
movement of water.
Other cells must constantly
export water from their interior
to accommodate the natural
inward movement.
Most plants are
hypertonic with respect
to their immediate
environment.
 When an animal cell such as red blood
cell is immersed in an isotonic
solution, the cell gains water at the
same rate that it loses it. The cell’s
volume remains constant in this
situation.
 What will happen to the red blood cell

when immersed in a hypotonic solution
which has a lower solute concentration
than the cell?
The cell gains water, swells,
and may eventually burst
due to excessive water
intake.
When placed in a
hypertonic solution, an
animal cell shrinks and can
die due to water loss.
Water requirement for plant cells
is different due to their rigid cell
walls.
A plant cell placed in an isotonic
solution is flaccid and a plant
wilts in this condition.
In contrast with animal cells, a
plant cell is turgid and healthy in
a hypotonic solution.
In a hypertonic solution, a
plant cell loses water,
shrivels, and its plasma
membrane detaches from
the cell wall (PLASMOLYSIS).
This situation eventually
causes death in plant cells.
 How do cells behave in
different solutions?
• What do you notice about the
effect of different solutions to
animal and plant cells?
• What solution is best for an
animal cell? Does this hold true
with plant cells?
