“Transport Across Cell Membranes”
Questions to answer:
- How does the second law of thermodynamics allow for diffusion of substances?
- How is active transport possible, since it contradicts the tendencies of the second law of thermodynamics?
- Diagram one complete cycle of the Sodium-Potassium pump. Is this active or passive transport?
- Is it possible for a solution to be both hypertonic and hypotonic? Why or Why not?
- How do large molecules get taken in to or removed from the cell?
Things you should make sure you understand:
(feel free to ask questions about them in class)
- The similarities and differences between simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport.
- Where cells get the energy to power active transport.
- The relationship between osmosis and tonicity.
- The adaptive strategies of animal, plant, and protist cells for dealing with the tonicity of their environments.
