4.1 Cell Biology Lesson 11

Which way will the water move in this example? What would happen if the holes in the membrane were made bigger?

Baseline (flightpath D): Know that nutrients can be taken into cells against their concentration gradient by a process known as active transport. Further (flightpath C): Describe a situation in which active transport is required and explain why diffusion cannot be used. Challenge (flightpath B&A): Explain the mechanism of active transport including its reliance on respiration and the link between the rate of respiration and the rate of active transport.

Where is the concentration of mineral ions highest? Which way would the mineral ions naturally diffuse? Into or out of the cell?
