2.5 Membrane Transport

 

@ExplainingWhy

Today's Learning Objective(s):

Describe the mechanisms that organisms use to maintain solute and water balance.

Describe the mechanisms that organisms use to transport large molecules across the plasma membrane.

Tasks:

1	Animated Gif Review the animations below. What are the differences between passive and active forms of transport? What are the differences between diffusion and facilitated diffusion?
2	Venn Diagram – Active v. Passive Transport While using the textbook, you are to compare and contrast the two types of transport. Then, let’s hear your ideas. Textbook: 5.2 Passive Transport    5.3 Active Transport
3	Video Membrane Transport Let’s pause a moment and watch the video.   Link    Why do particles move from higher concentration to lower concentration?  Other than using a protein pump, how else are materials moved passed the plasma membranes of cells?
4	Teacher Notes: Membrane Transport Let’s look at some slides and go over the types of transport you added to the Venn diagram.
5	Checkpoint > Membrane Permeability Use the Google Classroom assignment to show what you’ve learned about the plasma membrane structure and function.   Classwork   👓 Check your work. 📝 Make corrections to the form. 🔄️ Unlimited attempts at item correction
