Transport
through Cell
Membranes
INTRODUCTION
Cells make use of both passive and active processes to transport substances across their
membranes. Passive transport processes are those that require no metabolic energy from
the cell but rely solely on the physical properties of the substances themselves. Active
transport processes require energy expenditure by the cell to move substances whose
physical prevent their independent motion. In this exercise, we will observe large-scale
examples of passive transport processes.
OBJECTIVES:
To determine the difference in the diffusion of solid in cold and warm water.
To know the effects of osmosis (hypotonic and hypertonic) through the use of chicken
egg.
To understand more about filtration and its outcome.
PROCEDURES
A.
1.
2.
Conclusion
Therefore, potassium permanganate in hot water has a bigger
diameter than in cold water since hot water can easily dissolved the
Potassium permanganate.
B. Diffusion and Osmosis
1. The chicken egg, is placed in a container with food coloring and
water. It increases its size.
2. The chicken egg, is placed in a container with syrup, it decreases
its size.
Conclusion
Therefore, chicken egg in a container with food coloring and
water increases its size since
there is less solute and more
water resulting to a swell
and burst cell whereas in
chicken egg placed in a container
with syrup decreases its size
since there is more solute
and less water resulting to a
shrink and shrivel cell.
C. Filtration
1. The process become progressively slower and water is the
outcome of
the substance being filtered
( charcoal, cooper sulfate and
starch)
Conclusion
Therefore, the process
become progressively
slower since gravity
creates pressure needed to push the
substances in order for
water to across a paper
membrane.
