Document Summary

Passive transport (movement along concentration gradient: simple diffusion, osmosis. Active transport (movement against concentration gradient: passive transport. Diffusion - net movement of a substance from region of higher to lower concentration. Primary mechanism of solute movement within a cell and between cellular compartments separated by a membrane. The rate of diffusion depends on the concentration difference of two sides of the membrane (concentration gradient) The concentration gradient itself is a form of potential energy and as the molecule moves from area of high to low concentration - it is giving up energy. Because giving up less energy to reach equal distribution. Every molecule has thermal energy (are moving a little bit), therefore there"s a random motion - move from high concentration areas to low areas. Passive transport means that atp is not used to drive the movement. Molecule is diffusion with its gradient (high to low)

(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
