2.1 Cellular Transport

Notes to the Teacher

This module will help the learner to
understand about the different cell
functions using simple situational
questions.

What’s New

Imagine that you pour salt water around the roots of any tree or plant.
Predict its effect on the plant.

Figure 1. Insulin plant

 What is It

What was your prediction in the hanging question in the What’s New activity? Did you
predict that the plant will wilt then eventually will die? If that is your prediction then
that is absolutely correct! But the next question would be… why did the plant die?

Do you still remember your lesson on Module 1 about the cell membrane? The
cell membrane is the semi-permeable or selectively permeable membrane which has
the control over on what particles can or cannot pass through. Some particles can
just be carried in and out, others involve special structures to enter or exit from a
cell, while some particles even require an energy boost to get across a cell membrane.
Each cell’s membrane contains the right mix of these structures to help that cell keep
its internal environment balance or just right (homeostasis).

So, what happened when you pour the saltwater to the plant? There was a
movement of water across the cell membrane which we call as the cell transport!

Cell Transport is the movement of materials across the cell membrane, it

includes the passive and active transport.

Active and passive transport are processes by which molecules and other
materials move in and out of cells and across intracellular membranes. Active
transport is the movement of molecules or ions contrary a concentration gradient
(from an area of lower to higher concentration), which does not ordinarily occur, so
enzymes and energy are required.

Passive transport on the other hand, is the movement of molecules or ions

from an area of higher to lower concentration. There are several forms of passive
transport: simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, filtration, and osmosis. Passive
transport occurs because of the entropy (degree of disorder or randomness) of the
system, so additional energy isn't required for it to occur. Molecules flow across the
membrane by diffusion. Figure 1 shows how molecules or particles move across the
membrane.

2
 Figure 1. Active and Passive Transport

So, what kind of cell transport actually happen in the cell membrane of the
plant? Since salt water is a hypertonic solution (solution which has greater
concentration of solutes) when compared to the plant cells, thus the water inside the
plant cells will diffuse by osmosis out of the cells in order to lessen the concentration
of the salt solution.
This will reduce the turgor pressure inside the plant cells thus they wither, if
too much water is lost, the cells will eventually die.

 What’s More

Activity 1
How Does Cell Transport Material?

Objective :
Differentiate active and passive transport

Procedure :
Read the passage and answer the questions below. The passage was derived from
Cross-curricular reading comprehenson worksheet of K12 Reader (Reading
Instruction Resources).

Active and Passive Transport

Cross-Curricular Focus: Life Science

All living things are built from tiny units called cells. The cells are
surrounded by a covering called a cell membrane. The membrane controls what
moves in and out of the cell. Cells need many kinds of materials in order to survive.
They require water, oxygen, glucose (sugar), sodium, potassium and a variety of
other minerals. The body has to have a transport system to get these materials
where they must have to go. Moreover, every cell produced waste materials that it
needs to remove. The body has to have a method of collecting and disposing wastes.
Like a fleet of trucks that form a transport system to pick up and deliver goods in
the world, the body has a transport system, too. There are two forms of transport:
active transport, and passive transport.

Passive transport is an easier way for the cells because they don’t need to
use any energy to make it happen. Diffusion is the simplest and most usual form
of passive transport. Throughout the diffusion process, molecules of the materials
that need to be delivered to the cells are spread through either a gas, like oxygen,
or a liquid, like water. Areas with high concentrations of the materials gradually
diffuse them to areas of low concentration of the materials. Osmosis is a unique
form of passive transport that permits water to cross the cell membrane but keeps
most other materials out.

Active transport is applied when the concentration of materials inside the

cell is high, and the cell needs to push materials in to areas of high concentration
of the materials. Unfortunately, this kind of transport requires the cell to work
contrary to the normal direction of diffusion. This causes the cell to spend energy.
An example of this is how nerve cells work, they pump sodium out and pull
potassium in. Although they must spend energy in this process, doing so allows
them to live.

 Lesson

2.2 Cell Division

Aside from the cellular transport that we discussed in Lesson 2.1, there are
other cellular functions that you need to learn such as Cell Division. Unicellular
organisms reproduce and multiply their number by cell division. In this process one cell
splits into two, two to four and so on. In multicellular organisms, a large body composed
of millions of cells develops from the cell division of an embryo, which also develops
from a single fertilized egg.

Cell division happens as a part of the “cell cycle”. The eukaryotic cell cycle
consists of two major phases: interphase and mitotic cell division. During
interphase, the cell acquires nutrients from its environment, grows and replicate its
chromosomes. During mitotic cell division, one copy of each chromosome and
approximately half the cytoplasm is wrapped out into each of two daughter cells.

The period immediately after cell division, the duplication of the chromosome
is the G1 phase (short for “first gap”, referring to the first gap in DNA synthesis).
During this phase, the cell acquires nutrients from its environment, carries out its
specialized function and grows. S phase stands for “synthesis”, occurs during DNA
replication and duplication of each chromosome.

The period after DNA synthesis but before the next cell division is the G2
phase (“second gap”). The cell is already committed to cell division and most of the
phase is spent in synthesizing molecules other than DNA that are required for cell
division.

Figure 2. Diagram of Cell Cycle

6
 The continuity of life depends on the process of cell division. Through this
process, parent cells produce new cells like themselves. In the process of wound
healing for example, cells continue to divide and multiply to replace damaged cells.
The two major functions of cell division are (1) to create body cells (somatic cells) that
will maintain, replace and repair damaged cells (2) to form gametes (eggs and sperm)
for sexual reproduction.

Body cell Gametes

-somatic cells -sex cells (sperm and egg)
-diploid (2n) have two copies of every -have DNA that can be passed to
chromosome offspring
-half the chromosomes come from -haploid (n) have one copy of each
each parent chromosome

Figure 3. Representation of body cell and sex cell (gamete)

There are two types of cell division in multicellular organisms – mitosis and
meiosis.

Mitosis is a process of nuclear division wherein two genetically identical

daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell are
produce. Mitosis happens in body cells or somatic cells. In mitosis, each daughter
cell is diploid that has a complete set of chromosomes (2n), which is similar to that
of the parent cell. It is divided into four phases/stages: prophase, metaphase,
anaphase and telophase. Figure 4 shows the stages of mitosis. The mitotic cell
division has two major parts: mitosis and cytokinesis. Cytokinesis, is a process when
cytoplasm is divided about equally between the two daughter cells.

7
 Figure 4. Stages of Mitosis

The second type of cell division is Meiosis. Meiosis generates sex cells
(gametes), the parent cell divides into four daughter cells that each contain half the
number of chromosomes (haploid cells).

Let’s begin with an overview of the primary events of meiosis. It involves two
nuclear divisions: Meiosis I and Meiosis II.

In preparation for meiosis, all the chromosomes are duplicated during

interphase, producing sister chromatids joined at the centromere. During meiosis I,
the duplicate homologous chromosomes are separated into two daughter cells (shows
in figure 5). In meiosis II, the sister chromatids of each daughter cell are separated.

8
Cytokinesis may occur, producing four haploid cells, each with one set of
unduplicated chromosomes.

The phases/stages of meiosis have the same names as the roughly equivalent
phases in mitosis, followed by a I or II to distinguish the two stages of meiosis.

The stages of meiosis are interphase, prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I,

telophase I, cytokinesis I, prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, telophase II, and
finally cytokinesis II.

 Lesson
Adenosine Triphosphate
2.3 Production
You are now familiar with the two functions of the cell, the cellular transport
and the cell division. Let us now study the third function which is the production of
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) and its role in cellular respiration and photosynthesis.

Solar energy in the form of sunlight enters the earth and is the main source
of energy by autotrophs (organisms that can produce its own food using light, water,
carbon dioxide or other chemicals). In turn, man and other heterotrophs (organisms
that cannot make their own food) consume plants as food. The energy from food
molecules must be transferred to another molecule called ATP.

Adenosine Triphosphate which is often referred to as ATP, is a high-energy

particle found in the cells of the human body, creatures, plants, and others. It is
appropriate for putting away and providing the energy required by cells. In this way,
it is normally known as the energy currency of the cell or “molecular unit of
currency”. When used in metabolic procedures, it changes over either to Adenosine
Monophosphate (AMP) or to Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP).

ATP consists of three fundamental structures: adenosine, a substance made

up of the purine adenine plus a five-carbon sugar ribose and the triphosphate group.
The structure of ATP shows in figure 6.

Figure 6. Structure of ATP

The two biological processes which generate ATP are photosynthesis and
cellular respiration.

Photosynthesis is a process occurs in chloroplasts by which certain living

plant cell absorbs solar energy (that powers the synthesis of glucose molecules),
using the raw materials of carbon dioxide and water in the presence of chlorophyll
and light energy to form glucose, and release oxygen as the waste product. The
general equation for the photosynthesis process is as follows:

11
 Oxygen is produced in the process of photosynthesis and it is used so that the
chemical energy stored in food molecules can be converted into usable energy (ATP)
and used directly by living organisms. There are sets of reactions that take place
during photosynthesis: the light reaction (Photolysis) where ATP (Adenosine
triphosphate) and NADPH2 (Nicotinamide Adenosine Dinucleotide Hydrogen
Phosphate) are formed in the process called photophosphorylation, and the dark
reaction (Carbon fixation) also known as Calvin Cycle, where ATP and NADPH are
utilized as sources of energy to fix and reduce carbon dioxide.

The complex series of chemical reactions during which ATP is made from
nutrient molecules in the presence of oxygen is known as cellular respiration. The
term cellular refers to this process taking place in the cells of living things while the
term respiration describes the process of breakdown of fuel molecules in the presence
of oxygen with a resulting release of energy which occurs in cytoplasm and
mitochondria of a living cell. Cellular respiration is called an aerobic process because
this series of reactions is oxygen dependent. Organisms that do not “breathe”
oxygen, such as a certain microorganism, make ATP by a process known as
fermentation. This process consists of glycolysis (an initial series of reaction of
cellular respiration) and one or two additional reactions that takes place
anaerobically (does not require oxygen).

The process of cellular respiration is described chemically in the following

formula:

This simplified formula shows that as cellular respiration occurs, the net effect
is the breakdown of one molecules of the substrate glucose in the presence of six
molecules of oxygen to yield end products of six molecules of carbon dioxide and six
molecules of water. Virtually, all living cells perform respiration continuously
independent of light. Inorganic Phosphate (PI) combines with Adenosine Diphosphate
(ADP) to form ATP by a process called phosphorylation. During the process, enough
energy is from the glucose as it is being cleaved to power 36 endergonic reactions:
36 molecules of ADP are bonded to 36 atoms of inorganic phosphate, an energy yield
of 36 ATPs! Therefore, the breakdown of glucose during cellular respiration releases
energy which helps to produce molecules of ATP.
