2.8 Mechanisms of Transport & Osmosis Lab

 


Today's Learning Objective(s):

Explain Describe the processes that allow ions and other molecules to move across membranes.

Tasks:

 

 

1

Revisit Membrane Permeability

Crash Course Biology - Let's watch a video to review topic 2.5 Membrane Transport. 

 


 

 

2

Mechanisms of Transport

From AP Biology CED:

 

"Metabolic energy (such as that from ATP) is required for active transport of molecules and ions across the membrane and to establish and maintain electrochemical gradients."

 

Use the large paper and post-it notes to classify the movement of materials with the membrane and membrane proteins as listed on the sheet.

 

3

Chart It Out: Bulk Transport

What are the different means to bulk transport material?  You are to compare the different bulk transport methods:


 exocytosis

 endocytosis

 phagocytosis

 pinocytosis

 receptor-mediated endocytosis

 

4

Lab: Osmosis Continued

 Complete the different parts of the osmosis lab:

 Part A Be sure both charts have been completed

Note: (14.) Ratioanale will be in the CER in part D

Construct the graph

Part B

Be sure to complete the table with the % change calculations

 

Part C

Calculate the water potential of the carrot

Part D

CER  - Where the claim is to be your explanations for the unknown molar concentrations A→F (part A) and Mystery? (part b).

 

From the instructions.

 

Guiding Question: What question were you trying to answer in

the experiment?

Our Claim: What is your conclusion?

Our Evidence: What data or information did you gather to lead

you to the claim?

Our Justification or Reasoning: What ideas or principles from

class supports your claims? Does the evidence seem reasonable

with what you know?
