Document Summary

In long distance transport, water, and dissolved minerals travel in the cylem from roots to shoots and leaves and the products of photosynthesis move via the phloem from the leaves and stem into roots and other structures. 28. 1a) short distance transport mechanisms move molecules across plant cell membranes. In passive transport: substances move with their concentration gradient or, if the substance is an ion, with its electrochemical gradient. ^ meaning that cells do not need to expend energy. Active transport: moves ions and large molecules across membrane via transport proteins, but because these solutes are being moved against their concentration gradient, cells must expend energy. ^ energy can be provided by the atp hydrolysis ( for primary active transport) or by harnessing the energy in a concentration gradient ( for secondary active transport) Osmosis occurs in response to solute concentration gradients, a pressure gradient or both.

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
