Cell Structure and FunctionEssential Question - How do materials move in and out of
cells?
Lesson 12 – Cell Transport Introduction
How are living things alike?
Objectives
• Students will be able to:– Observe and describe diffusion occurring– Compare and contrast active and passive
transport– List examples of passive transport in their
daily lives
How are living things alike?
Vocabulary Terms• Diffusion – The process by which molecules
move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
• Osmosis – The diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane.
• Active Transport – The movement of materials across a cell membrane using cellular energy.
• Passive Transport – The movement of dissolved materials across a cell membrane without using cellular energy.
How are living things alike?
Conclusion Questions:• OBSERVE How long did it take for the food
coloring to spread through the water? • Write an explanation for the changes you
observed. • How would the results be different if you used a
larger amount of water• What do you think would happen if you used hot
water? • CALCULATE Assume that there is one cup of
water in this experiment. How long would it take one drop of food coloring to spread throughout in four cups of water?
The Cell in Its Environment
Crossing the Cell MembraneMolecules move into and out of a cell by means of passive or active transport. Complete the boxes, and describe where the concentration of each substance is high or low.
Water MoleculeImagine that the yellow line is the cell membrane. What is the overall direction in which water will travel as a result of osmosis?
