Pre-Lab Discussion
HOMEOSTASIS
Dynamic maintenance of a constant
internal environment
Necessitates the entry and exit of
substances into or out of cells through the
plasma membrane
TRANSPORT PROCESSES
Diffusion
Osmosis
Dialysis
Active Transport
DIFFUSION
Spontaneous intermingling of molecules of
different substances
Results from the inherent kinetic energy of
the molecules
Movement of molecules is from an area of
HIGHER concentration to LOWER
concentration
OSMOSIS
Special formof diffusion
Movement of water BUT NOT SOLUTES
across a membrane
Movement of water molecules from a
hypoosmotic (dilute) solution to a
hyperosmotic (concentrated) solution
DIALYSIS
Pressure induced diffusion of some
solutes across a membrane
Movement occurs from an area of
HIGHER PRESSURE to an area of
LOWER PRESSURE
