can diffuse through pores extremely fast.- Osmosis- diffusion of water- Water always flows to the more concentrated content.- Osmotic pressure depends on the total solute concentration.- Water diffuses from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration- Change the concentration of water by adding solutes- Hydrostatic pressure: the force that opposes diffusion- Unit of total = 1 osmol; 1 L= 1 OSM 1/1000 osmol; 1 L= 1 mOSM* Biology fluids around 300 mOSM- 1 Mole of gas in a 1 L container, it exerts 22.4 ATM (Atmosphere)- Osmotic pressure: For every 1 OSM difference, generate 22.4 ATM 1 mOSM generates 1/1000 x 22.4 ATM- 1 atmosphere is 760 mM of Mercury; 22.4 ATM  15,000 mMHg- 1 mOSM  15 mm Hg  biologically significant pressure- Average artery pressure = 100 mm Hg| Isotonic- the same || Hypotonic- the one has lower osmolarity | Relative to osMolarity| Hypertonic- the one has more osmolarity |- Van’t Hoff-discovered that sucrose molecules exert same pressure as any other moleculethat can’t cross a membraneo Liquid molecules exert same pressure in gas phaseo 1 mole/liter=22.4ATMo 1 ATM=760 mmHgo 22.4 ATM=15,000 mmHgo 0.31=the concentration of the sum of our blood plasma=310 mOsmActive Transport- any system that will move a molecule uphill.--- Most Important in Physiological terms.Inside | Outside K hi | K low * only form biology finds useful energy is the destruction of ATP.Na l | Na High ATP  ADP + Energy- Active transporto Requires energy input to occuro ATP --> ADP + energyo ATPase-enzyme, coverts ATP to ADP with the release of energyo Also called a sodium pump; Na, P, ATPase pump Located in membrane Uses ATP to pump potassium in (diffuses out) and sodium out (diffuses in)Molecular pump- constantly exchanging sodium and potassium go uphill in concentration gradian.- Osmolarity (Osm)o The added concentration (of the molarities) of everything (the solutes) in the plasmao Can be obtained by measuring osmotic pressureo The
