Document Summary

Solutes have different rates of diffusion depending on solute polarity and solute concentration gradient: membrane is selectively permeable. Transporters- tend to have high selectivity specificity: channel proteins- Simple diffusion: activation energy for diffusion through the membrane is high process of hydration shell removal is endergonic, moving across the membrane with the concentration gradient, moves from high concentration to low concentration. Involves specific binding to sites on the transport that leads to a conformational change. Transporter proteins reduces activation energy by forming noncovalent bonds with a dehydrated solute to replace hydrogen bonding. This creates a hydrophilic transmembrane pathway: active transport. Requires energy: molecule is typically moving against its concentration gradient. Polar solvents need to pass through the hydrophobic interior of the membrane: water forms hydration shells to interact with the solute. Energy is required to move the water away: a noncovalent reaction comes in to replace this.

1. predict the direction of water movement based on differences in solute concentrations. Use the terms osmotic pressure, hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic
2. Why do membranes have to be selectively permeable?

3. What determines whether a particular substance can diffuse (simple or facilitated) through a membrane?

4. What mechanisms drive molecules across membranes? Use the terms concentration gradient, (facilitated) diffusion and active transport.
5. Which parts of the plasma membrane proteins do you expect to be hydrophobic or hydrophilic? Justify your answer.
concise and short answers pls

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

	C.	move to the side with lower solute concentration

Question 5

Kinetic energy differs from chemical energy in that

	A.	chemical energy is a particular form of kinetic energy.
	B.	kinetic energy is the energy of a moving object, whereas chemical energy is the potential energy of molecules.
	C.	kinetic energy is stored energy that has the potential to do work, and chemical energy is the energy of movement.
