Transportation is defined as… the movement of materials in or out of a
cell…… or the movement of materials throughout an organism…. example:
transportation could be the movement of oxygen into a cell and the movement of
carbon dioxide out of a cell…..

What is Brownian Movement?
• Albert Einstein observed the movement of small particles in water. He realized that the particles moved because they were being
bombarded by moving water molecules. He later, in one of his first scientific papers,
postulated that every particle in a fluid is in constant motion. This constant movement, first observed by Robert Brown, is called
Brownian Movement.

How Temperature affects the motion of molecules
Temperature is defined as the average transitional velocity (speed) of the molecules in a system.
An increase in temperature is actually an increase in the speed of the
molecules…. @ 70 degrees Fahrenheit air molecules are traveling at 1,500 mph
All molecules exhibit some kind of motion. Therefore, all molecules have temperature.
Absolute Zero – temperature at which all motion stops…absolute zero is
-459 Fahrenheit…. Welcome to Bruno’s world!!

Semi- Permeability
• The Plasma Membrane is semi-permeable
( also referred as “selectively permeable” ).
• A selectively permeable membrane allows the passage of some materials in or out of a cell,
and restricts the passage of some materials in or out of the cell.

Solutions
• Cells are filled and surrounded by many solutions. Solutions are composed of
solutes and a solvent.
• Solute + Solvent Solution Substance to be
dissolvedThe Dissolver
Salt + Water Saltwater

Bulk Flow
• The movement of some materials is referred to as “Bulk Flow”. Bulk flow is the collective movement of substances in the same direction in response to a force or
pressure.
• Blood moving through a blood vessel is “bulk flow”.

2 Types of Cell Transportation
Passive Transport
* Materials flow down the
concentration gradient.
* The cell does not use any energy.
Active Transport
* Movement of solutes against a
concentration gradient.
* Requires that the cell use energy.
![Page 9: Cell Transportation How things get in and out of Cells.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cc35503460f9498c882/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Passive TransportSolutes flow down the concentration gradient.
* The cell does not use any energy.
The 3 most common types of Passive Transport are:
1. Diffusion
2. Osmosis
3. Facilitated Diffusion
![Page 10: Cell Transportation How things get in and out of Cells.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cc35503460f9498c882/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Simple Diffusion
Diffusion is the flow of substances from an area, or region, of greater molecular concentration to
an area, or region, of lesser molecular concentration. The overall direction of the movement is referred to as the Gradient.
Molecules usually move “down the concentration gradient”..... flow from high concentration to low concentration. Eventually a state of “equilibrium”
is reached where molecules are uniformly distributed but continue to move randomly.

OsmosisThe Diffusion of water across a membrane
• All living cells must be surrounded by Water.
• These water environments are classified as by the concentration of solutes in the solution.
The environments are classified as:
1. Isotonic
2. Hypertonic
3. Or, Hypotonic
![Page 13: Cell Transportation How things get in and out of Cells.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cc35503460f9498c882/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Isotonic Environment
** In an Isotonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside and inside
the cell are equal.
** Under these conditions, water diffuses into and out of the cell at equal rates, so
there is NO Net Movement of Water.
![Page 14: Cell Transportation How things get in and out of Cells.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cc35503460f9498c882/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Hypertonic Environment
• Concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell than inside the cell.
• Water will move outside the cell… the cell will shrink and die.
95% Water
5% solute
97% Water
3% solute
![Page 15: Cell Transportation How things get in and out of Cells.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cc35503460f9498c882/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Hypotonic Environment
• Concentration of solutes is greater inside the cell than outside the cell.
• Water will move inside the cell… the cell will swell, or burst, and die.
97% Water
3% solute
95% Water
5% solute

Facilitated Diffusion
• The diffusion of solutes through channel proteins in the plasma membrane. Glucose moves in and
out of cells through facilitated diffusion.
![Page 17: Cell Transportation How things get in and out of Cells.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cc35503460f9498c882/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Pressure
• Force (push) exerted on a surface as it is bombarded by moving particles.
• The amount of pressure can be determined using the following formula:
Pressure = Force
Area
![Page 18: Cell Transportation How things get in and out of Cells.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cc35503460f9498c882/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Osmotic PressureIf there are solute molecules only in one side of the system, then the
pressure that stops the flow of the solutes is called the osmotic pressure.
![Page 19: Cell Transportation How things get in and out of Cells.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cc35503460f9498c882/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Dialysis• The diffusion of
solutes across a selectively permeable membrane. The term
dialysis is usually used when different
solutes are separated by a
selectively permeable membrane.
![Page 20: Cell Transportation How things get in and out of Cells.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cc35503460f9498c882/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Plasmolysis
• Movement of water out of a cell that results in the collapse of the cell, especially in plant cells with
central water vacuoles.
Normal cells Plasmolyzed Cells
![Page 21: Cell Transportation How things get in and out of Cells.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cc35503460f9498c882/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Turgor Pressure
Internal pressure applied to a cell wall when
water moves by osmosis out of the cell. The pressure pushes the plasma
membrane against the cell wall.
PlasmolysisPlasmolysis is the loss of Turgor Pressure…
therefore the cell collapses.
![Page 22: Cell Transportation How things get in and out of Cells.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cc35503460f9498c882/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Countercurrent Exchange• Diffusion of
substances between two
regions in which
substances are moving by bulk
flow in opposite
directions.
Oxygen Flow
![Page 23: Cell Transportation How things get in and out of Cells.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cc35503460f9498c882/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Factors which affect the rate ofPassive Transport
• Temperature – the faster the molecules move, the faster they diffuse… the slower the
molecules move, the slower they diffuse.• Pressure – as you increase, or decrease
pressure…. You can affect the rate and direction of flow.
• Concentration – the larger the population of solutes, the greater the chance of random
access through a membrane.
![Page 24: Cell Transportation How things get in and out of Cells.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cc35503460f9498c882/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Active Transport*Solutes flow against the concentration gradient.
* The cell uses energy….ATP.*Requires Transport Proteins
Types of Active Transport are:
1. Exocytosis
2. Endocytosis
a.) Special Transport
b.) Phagocytosis
c.) Pinocytosis
d.) Receptor-mediated
![Page 25: Cell Transportation How things get in and out of Cells.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cc35503460f9498c882/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Special Transport
• Ions are atoms with either a positive or negative electrical charge…. their electron number is not equal to
their proton number.
• Some, not all, ions need to be transported by
Special TransportSpecial Transport.
Simply put….during Special Transport, ions are captured by surface proteins and pushed’ or pulled, into the cell…. Because they are forced, the ions can flow, if necessary, against the concentration gradient.... The ions can even
flow through like electrical charges on the plasma membrane.
![Page 26: Cell Transportation How things get in and out of Cells.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cc35503460f9498c882/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Exocytosis (exo = outside, Cyto = cell)
moving substances outside the cell
• Process of vesicles fusing with the plasma membrane and releasing their content to the
outside of the cell.
![Page 27: Cell Transportation How things get in and out of Cells.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cc35503460f9498c882/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Endocytosis (endo = inside, cyto = cell)
Capture of substances outside the cell when the plasma membrane merges to engulf it.
***There are three types of endocytosis1. phagocytosis2. pinocytosis
3. receptor-mediated
![Page 28: Cell Transportation How things get in and out of Cells.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cc35503460f9498c882/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Phagocytosis (phago = to eat, cyto = cell)
Phagocytosis occurs when undissolved solids enter a cell. The plasma
membrane wraps around the solid
material and engulfs it, forming a vesicle.
Phagocytic cells, such as white blood cells,
attack and engulf bacteria in the manner.
![Page 29: Cell Transportation How things get in and out of Cells.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cc35503460f9498c882/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Pinocytosis (pino = to drink, cyto = cell)
Pinocytosis occurs when dissolved
materials enter a cell. The plasma membrane folds inward to form a channel allowing the liquid to enter. The plasma membrane
closes off the channel, encircling the liquid
inside a vesicle. Oils enter cells through
pinocytosis
![Page 30: Cell Transportation How things get in and out of Cells.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cc35503460f9498c882/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis
• Occurs when specific molecules bind to specialized “receptors” (proteins) in the
plasma membrane. The membrane, the receptors, and the specific molecules, called ligands, fold inward forming vesicles. Hormones target
special “target cells” by receptor-mediated
endocytosis.

Vesicular Transport
• Vesicles are small membrane-bound macromolecules of the cell and carry
materials between organelles in the cell.
• Cells can use vesicles to transport large particles across the plasma membrane.
• Both exocytosis and endocytosis are types of vesicular transport.
