Essential Question: Investigate how and why cells transport substances through their membranes
Questions:
Level 1: What is a
passive transport?
`
Level 2: Can you
explain how
osmosis work?
Level 1: What is
penicillin?
Level 3: How would
you test the way
turgor pressure
works?
Level 4: What
information can
you gather that
supports the idea
that a cell is
selectively
permeable?
Notes:
~The movement of substances into and out of the cell, without
using energy.
*Types of passive transport:
~Simple Diffusion
~Facilitated Diffusion
~Osmosis
~Osmosis works by allowing water to move towards high solute
concentrations in a cell. There are three types of osmosis: isotonic,
hypertonic and hypotonic. Depending on which way the water is
move, the movement could be classified as one of the three types.
~Penicillin is a type of antibiotic, that is used to kill bacteria
Summary: A cell uses many functions in order to provide the necessary functions for the body to work. Among
those many functions are passive and active transport which allows certain molecules and ions to pass through a
selectively permeable membrane. An active transport requires a cell to use energy in order to move molecule to
through a membrane. Passive transports are use no energy to move molecule through a cell membrane, passive
transports include facilitated diffusion, simple diffusion and osmosis. Osmosis is the only passive transport that
allows moves water in and out of the cell membrane.
