School Year:2024-2025

Students will be able to describe how the composition of the cell membrane contributes to cell function; describe how the cell’s surroundings influence the direction and type of cell transport.
Construct and use models and simulations to represent and explain how substances move across the cell membrane by osmosis, diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport; evaluate the limitations of models used when appropriate
Plan and conduct investigations related to how concentration affects the rate of diffusion across a semipermeable membrane, using proper sampling techniques, data collection, and analysis procedures
Compare the energy needed to move substances across the cell membrane by osmosis, diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport
