Document Summary

Compare and contrast animal and plant cell responses to hypotonic, hypertonic, and isotonic solutions. Compare and contrast passive and active transport. Explain how membrane potentials are generated and maintained. Interior of a cell is a complex network of dynamically interacting molecules. A cell must balance its inputs and outputs of energy and waste: plasma membrane serves as the cells principal structure to. Diffusion results in the movement of substances down their achieve this balance concentration gradient: dissolved molecules and ions have thermal energy and therefore are in constant random motion, giving them kinetic energy. This kinetic energy is all the energy required for molecules and ions to spread out from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. The motion of each individual molecule or ion is: passive transport. Substances exhibit a net movement across the plasma membrane due to diffusion.

(b) free diffusion.

(d) passive transport.

A hypertonic solution has a higher level of solutes so the water moves out of the cells to the surroundings

A hypotonic solution has a higher level of solutes so the water moves out of the cells to the surroundings

The salt and water solution in the potato is a hypotonic solution

Osmosis is the movement of large molecules across a membrane which require embedded proteins

The plain water in this experiment is the solvent and the salt is the solute.

Passive transport requires no energy and the molecules move with the concentration gradient or from high concentration to low concentration

Active transport required no energy and the molecules move with the concentration gradient or from high concentration to low concentration.

The water on the inside of the potato with the salt molecules is an isotonic solution the same as the solution on the outside of the potato.

Water will not move by simple diffusion (osmosis) into or out of cells it requires energy or protein transporters

The solution of salt water in the potato has a lower concentration of water molecules so the water on the outside should move into the cells
