For the above image, explain what will happen once you start the animation... make sure you use the terms diffusion, concentration gradient and pore (hole) size in your answer. Notice one of the particles (solutes) will diffuse and the other WILL NOT- make sure you explain why!

Item 1
CO2
Item 2
O2
a lipid (nonpolar)
water
glucose (a sugar)
ions (charged atoms)
Not blocked by cell membrane - moves by simple diffusion
Blocked by the cell membrane - moves ONLY by facilitated diffusion (help of protein in membrane)
Would require an aquaporin to move across a membrane

3.
Explain the ONE KEY REASON for why some molecules need the help of the special protein channel to cross the cell membrane (facilitated diffusion) and other molecules can cross directly across the cell membrane without any help (simple diffusion)

Marathon runners are at risk for hyponatremia or water intoxication when they drink large amounts of water during the race. This extra water floods the blood and the fluids around their cells so there is more water OUTSIDE than INSIDE their cells. Explain what happens next using the word osmosis and explain why the BRAIN is the organ that is most affected by the movement of this extra water.
