Transport In Cells
Visão Geral
Nothing gets into a cell by being told to. Substances arrive because they are more concentrated somewhere else, and they keep arriving until the difference is gone. That one idea explains how oxygen reaches a working muscle, how a meal ends up in your blood, why a salad crisps up in cold water, and why an overfed plant wilts in soil that is still damp.
In this lesson you will separate diffusion from osmosis cleanly, learn the vocabulary that surrounds osmosis, and run the required practical that puts a number on it. Then you will use the same idea to explain why a large organism cannot survive on its outer surface alone, and why the lungs and the small intestine are shaped the way they are. Get this topic right and several later ones stop needing to be learned separately.
Objetivos
- Diffusion is the spreading of the particles of any substance in solution, or particles of a gas, resulting in a net movement from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. The greater the difference in concentration, the faster the rate of diffusion.
- Dissolved substances can move into and out of cells by diffusion.
- Oxygen required for respiration passes through cell membranes by diffusion.
- Osmosis is the diffusion of water from a dilute to a more concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane that allows the passage of water molecules.
- Differences in the concentrations of the solutions inside and outside a cell cause water to diffuse into or out of the cell by osmosis. Students should be familiar with experiments related to diffusion and osmosis as well as the terms isotonic, hypotonic, hypertonic, turgor and plasmolysis. Required practical: Investigate the effect of different concentrations of solutions separated by a partially permeable membrane.
- A single-celled organism has a relatively large surface area to volume ratio. All the necessary exchanges occur across its surface membrane. The increased size and complexity of an organism increases the difficulty of exchanging materials.
- In multicellular organisms many organ systems are specialised for exchanging materials. The effectiveness of an exchange surface is increased by: having a large surface area that is thin, to provide a short diffusion path; (in animals) having an efficient blood supply; (in animals, for gaseous exchange) being ventilated. Students should be able to explain how the small intestine and lungs in mammals are adapted for exchanging materials.
- Gas and solute exchange surfaces in humans and other organisms are adapted to maximise effectiveness. Students should be able to explain how gas and solute exchange surfaces are adapted to maximise effectiveness.
