Resource summary
Movement of Substances
Types
Passive
Does not require energy
Move ↓ conc. gradient
Eg.
Diffusion
Osmosis
Active
Requires energy
Move against / up conc. gradient
Diffusion
NET movement of particles frm a region of HIGH conc. to LOW conc.
Down conc. gradient
Conc. gradient
Diffeence in conc. btw 2 regions
Steeper grad.
↑ rate of diffusion
Factors affecting RATE
Conc. gradient
Steeper
↑ rate
Temperature
↑
↑ energy level of molecules
↑ rate
Size of particles
↓
↓ energy required to move particles
↑ rate
Thickness of membrane
Thin
↓ distance for particles to travel
↑ rate
May be unapplicable
Diffusion does not require a membrane
Eg.
Animal cells
Partially permeable membrane
Allow some substances through
Eg.
Lungs
Alveolus separated frm capillaries by a thin membrane
Diffusion
Gas exchange across membrane
Small intestines
Epithelium of villus
One-celled thick
↑ of diffusion
Digested food molecules into bloodstream
Practical Application
Kidney Dialysis
Diffusion
Wastes products removed frm blood through artificial membrane in machine
Blood cells & large molecules retained
Osmosis
NET movement of WATER molecules frm a region of ↑ WATER POTENTIAL to ↓ w.p
Across a PARTIALLY PERMEABLE MEMBRANE
Water potential
Tendency for water molecules to move frm 1 place to other
Eg.
Dilute solution
↑ water molecules per unit vol than a concentrated soln
Plants
Tugor pressure
