Lesson Goals & Learning Objectives:
To gain a better understanding of both active
and passive transport and how they relate to
plant and animal cells
After viewing the presentation, and accessing the
links; students will be able to compare and contrast
the basic mechanisms of passive and active
transport across the cell membrane with
100% accuracy
After viewing the presentation, and accessing the
links; students will be able to describe osmosis and
diffusion concepts with 100% accuracy.
These lessons are geared toward High School Biology students
At the cellular level, many things are occurring every second, which we are generally
not able to visualized. Using a large cell (egg), the student will be able to see how the semipermeable membrane “works”; allowing some materials to pass while others do not. The project
will show osmosis, the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane. Students, will
need to read, and interpret the given information and data, drawing conclusions and taking
those conclusions to further levels of analysis. Once the student has seen passive transport in
action, the student will then need to create, test and complete an original experiment involving
some form of passive transport.
Itinerary Front Door - Evaluation Tag CHE (concrete, humanistic, easy)
I choose this front door because it patterned after a daily diary, in this
case an egg. The evaluation tag “C”oncrete is based on specific facts.
“H”umanistic, encourages affective examination of the material. “E”asy
this front door can be revised and translated easily.

Lesson Overview
• Cellular Transport is movement of materials across a semipermeable membrane.
• Cellular Transport can be broken into
active and passive transport.
• Passive Transport is the movement of
materials across a semi-permeable.
membrane, from an area of high concentration to an area of
low concentration (down the concentration gradient).
• Active Transport is the movement
across a semi-permeable membrane from an
area of low concentration to an area
of high concentration. Active transport
requires that energy is added.
Instructions
• Click on the forward arrow to advance to
the next slide; the back arrow to return to
the previous slide. Arrows will have
specifically where you are headed if not
just front or back. Answer each question
carefully.
• Time – You will have 60 minutes to
complete the lesson.

Water moves to the left
High Solute – Low Water High Water – Low Solute
The movement of materials
into and out of the cell is very
import to how plants and animal
cells function on a daily basis…
Sugar molecules that cannot pass through the membrane
Water molecules can move with the concentration gradient
As you can see the water molecules are the only thing that passes across
the semi-permeable membrane
Hypertonic Solution
Hypertonic Solutions: contain a high concentration of solute relative to another
solution (e.g. the cell's cytoplasm). When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution,
the water diffuses out of the cell, causing the cell to shrivel.
solute
water
Hypotonic Solution
Hypotonic Solutions: contain a low concentration of solute relative to another
solution (e.g. the cell's cytoplasm). When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution,
the water diffuses into the cell, causing the cell to swell and possibly explode.
solute
water
Isotonic Solution
Isotonic Solutions: contain the same concentration of solute as an another
solution (e.g. the cell's cytoplasm). When a cell is placed in an isotonic solution,
the water diffuses into and out of the cell at the same rate. The fluid that
surrounds the body cells is isotonic.
solute
water
Animal Cells
Animal cells are effected
daily by the differing types
of solutions. Isotonic is when
everything is in balance between
the cell, blood and body
chemistry. You have
experienced a hypertonic
solution, when your cells
are put into a into a solution
that has more water inside
the cell then outside the cell.
Water will leave the cell and
the cell shrinks and shrivels.
A practical example of this is when you use saline nose spray. The saline (salt)
content is higher outside the nose cells which means lower water. Water leaves the
cells. This helps to remove excess water from a runny nose!! Your have experienced
a hypotonic solution when you eat something with a lot of salt. Your fingers swell; the
salt enters your cells; there is more salt inside the cell, which means less water, the
Water moves into the cell, causing a swelling, our body has mechanisms to prevent
the cells from bursting. Can you figure out more examples??
Plant Cells
Plant cells will live but not thrive in
isotonic solution, plants do better with
an increase in turgor pressure which
results from a full vacuole.
Hypertonic solutions exist
when plants are in very dry
environments and there is
more water inside the cells
then in the atmosphere –
water will leave the cells
and go into the environment.
The plant’s leaves may wilt.
Plant plants prefer
hypotonic solutions when
the pressure in the central
vacuole is high, the plant
is able to retain it’s shape well. Often business place lettuce and spinach in
distilled water to create the appearance of fresh plump vegetables .
So what did you learn?
Answer the following and submit to the teacher for a grade.
• Compare and contrast the basic mechanisms of
passive and active transport across the cell
membrane.
• Describe osmosis and diffusion.
• To show complete mastery of the subject and a
great way to earn bonus points, design a lab that
will demonstrate osmosis, diffusion or both.
