specific functions
1. Diffusion – movement of substances in a solution
ex: nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes from high concentration to a low concentration
Cytoplasm – jelly-like substance that holds organelles Solutes – dissolved
Cell membrane – plasma membrane; encloses the Solvent – predominant liquid or gas that dissolve solute

Concentration gradient – difference in the concentration of
Extracellular – substances outside the cell a solute in a solvent between two points divided by their

Intracellular – substances inside the cell

Phospholipids Lysis – when cell swells, then rupture
- form a bilayer that contains 2 regions: polar and
nonpolar. Isotonic – same solute concentrations

Phospholipid Structure Hypertonic – ↑ solute concentration and ↓ water
Polar region – exposed to water (hydrophilic) concentration

Nonpolar region – facing the interior of the membrane - water moves by osmosis from the cell causing it to
(hydrophobic) shrink

- sodium, calcium, and chloride 2 classes of cell membrane channels:
Cell Membrane Passage 1. Leak channels – constantly allow ions to pass
O2 and CO2 – can pass directly through the cell through; always open
membrane’s phospholipid bilayer. 2. Gated channels – limit the movement of ions
- some substances use protein channels, such as Na+ across the membrane by opening and closing
- route of transport depends on the size, shape, and Carrier molecules – proteins within the cell membrane

- some substances require carrier molecules, such as - water soluble molecules or ions across the
glucose membrane.
- some substances require a vesicular transport
