3.1 The Movements of Substances Across The Plasma Membrane
1. The movement of substances in and out of cells occurs across plasma membrane.
2. The Plasma Membrane: is a semi-permeable lipid bilayer found in all cells that
controls water and certain substances in and out of the cell.

the concentration gradient
- Passive transport is the movement of substances across the cell membrane without the use of
energy by the cell.
- During passive transport, substances move down their concentration gradient, hence no
energy is required.

(a) 1st, the sugar is concentrated in 1 area. (d)
(b) The sugar and water molecules move randomly in all direction.
(c) The random movements results in net movements of both molecules;
from region of high concentration to region of low concentration,
down the concentration gradient.
(d) The sugar molecule finally evenly dispersed (tersebar rata).
This stage is called a dynamic equilibrium.
23. What is Osmosis?
- Osmosis is the diffusion of a water through a semi-permeable membrane, from a region of
low solute concentration to a region with high solute concentration
( or high [water] to low [water] )
Important Points:
• It is the diffusion of water (normally) through a semi-permeable membrane.
• It is from a dilute solution to a more concentrated solution.
• NO ENERGY REQUIRED (TAK PERLU TENAGA).
• Water molecules move through phospholipid bilayer and pore protein.
26. What Substances Can Pass through the Plasma Membrane through Facilitated Diffusion?
Particles undergo facilitated diffusion are the particles that cannot diffuse through the
phospholipid bilayer such as:
• Large particles such as glucose, amino acids, proteins and nucleic acids
• Some ions such as the sodium ions and chloride ions

Carrier protein
(b)
A carrier protein alternates between two conformations, moving a
solute across the membrane as the shape of the protein changes.
The protein can transport the solute in either direction, with the net
movement being down the concentration gradient of the solute.

3.2 The Movements of Substances Across The Plasma Membrane in Everyday Life
1. What is Hypotonic Solution?
Hypotonic solution is the solution with a lower solute concentration. (Hypo=less).
Water concentration: Water concentration inside the cell is lower than outside the cell.
Solute Concentration: Solute concentration inside the cell is higher than outside the cell.
8. Since living cells need to be in the stable internal environment, the interstitial fluid of animal
cells is usually isotonic to the cytoplasmic fluid within the cells.

9. If an animal cell such as red blood cell
(RBC) is placed into an isotonic solution,
amount of water molecules is
transported into the red blood cells by
osmosis is equal to the amount of water
molecules transported out from the cell
(as shown in the diagram beside).
10. Therefore the amount of water in the cell
remain unchanged (no net movement of
water across plasma membrane).
11. The red blood cells maintain their shape.
35. To maintain proper functioning of a plasma membrane and the whole cells, it is
important to:
