RATE OF DIFFUSION
Ringer’s Solution
Length of toad skin = 6 cmWidth of toad skin = 3 cm
4.1 g – 3.6 gR = 3000s____ = 0.93 x 10-5 g/cm2s
(6cm x 3cm)
RATE OF DIFFUSION
1:1 Ringer’s Solution:NaCN
Length of toad skin = 5.5 cmWidth of toad skin = 4 cm
7.25 g – 7.13 gR = 3600s____ = 0.15 x 10-5 g/cm2s
(5.5cm x 4cm)
RATE OF DIFFUSION

ACTIVE TRANSPORT
Active transport describes what happens when a cell uses energy to transport individual molecules across the cell membrane. The liquids inside and outside of cells have different substances. Sometimes a cell has to work and use some energy to maintain a proper balance of ions and molecules.
ACTIVE TRANSPORTActive transport usually happens across the cell membrane. Proteins are positioned to cross the membrane so one part is on the inside of the cell and one part is on the outside. Only when they cross the bilayer are they able to move molecules and ions in and out of the cell. The membrane proteins are very specific.
Many times, proteins have to work against a concentration. gradient.

ACTIVE TRANSPORT
There are poisons that stop the membrane proteins from transporting their molecules. Those poisons are called inhibitors. Sometimes the proteins are destroyed and other times they are just plugged up.
