1. Selective Permeability This means that some substances are allowed into a cell and others are not. Permeable means to pass through.

2. Two ways substances move in and out of cells Passive and Active Transport

The Cell in its Environment

3. Passive Transport Movement of material through a cell membrane where energy is not required a. Diffusion the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Example: pond water organisms survive because oxygen in the pond water is at higher levels than inside the organism

DIFFUSION

b. Osmosis the passing of water molecules in and out of the cell by diffusion

The Cell in its Environment

4. Isotonic Solution the concentration of water outside and inside the cell is equal

The Cell in its Environment

5. Hypotonic Solution the concentration of water outside the cell is greater than the concentration of water inside the cell; therefore water will flow into the cell, causing it to swell

The Cell in its Environment

6. Hypertonic Solution the concentration of water outside the cell is lower than the concentration of water inside the cell; therefore water will flow out of the cell, causing it to shrink

7. Active Transport the movement of material through a cell membrane where energy is required

The Cell in its Environment

a) Engulfing the cell membrane pinches in to form a vacuole inside the cell

The Cell in its Environment

b) Transport Proteins transport proteins in the cell membrane can pick up molecules outside the cell and carry them into the cell
