LAB: PASSiV@ & ACtiVe TRANSPORT ‘The cell membrane is semi-permeable. This means some materials are allowed through and some are not. The size, shape, and charge of the molecules determines whether they can pass or not. Passive Transport ‘+ The movement of materials through 2 membrane without energy Diffusion: the movement of materials from high concentration to low concentration + Osmosis: the diffusion of water through a membrane Active Transport + The process of using energy to move materials through a membrane ‘Some materials, like sugar or salt, are too big to flow through the membrane + Instead, the cell needs energy to move the molecule through a protein, ©. What type of energy? ATP! + Cells in our kidneys filter & remove salt from your blood through active transport Endocytosi + Occurs when a large bit of material is captured with a pocket in the membrane + The pocket breaks off & forms a package that moves into the cell + Requires energy + Essential nutrients, like iron, are absorbed into cells this way 1. 2. 3. Xocytosis ‘Occurs when 2 large bit of material needs to be removed from a cell A package of the materials travels through the cell to the membrane, joins it, and is expelled + Requires energy + Cells use this to flush out waste such as hormones, 1 2. 3 Part lastic Bag Membrane Mat ls: plastic bags, rubber bands, 2 beakers, cornstarch, iodine, water, 50 ml graduated cylinder, teaspoon Procedures Label two clean glass 200ml beakers 1 & 2 Pour approximately 100 mL. of water into each beaker.
