Introduction
v

Cell membrane helps maintain internal balance or homeostasis through cell transport. Cell Transport movement of substances in and out of a cell types: a) Active and b) Passive

Passive Transport

movement of substances across a cell membrane with no energy needed

Types of Passive Transport: a) Diffusion b) Osmosis

Diffusion

movement of molecules from a region of greater concentration to a less concentrated one until equilibrium

Osmosis

Osmosis

special type of diffusion mainly concerned with the movement of water in living systems

Osmosis

movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration (low solute concentration) to an area of low water concentration (high solute concentration).

Objectives
illustrate the process of diffusion in two different media, (b) demonstrate volume change as a consequence of osmosis, and (c) give the students the ability to predict the direction of diffusion and osmosis across membranes given the concentrations.

After 37.5 mL

Conclusion

Components of the medium affect the rate of diffusion. Water moves from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration.

Recommendatio n Osmosis: longer time to submerge

the setup to ensure a significant change in volume, in the right manner.
