Cell Transport
For this biology worksheet, 9th graders describe what osmosis is and how it explains the fact tat a watery syrup forms when you put sugar on strawberries. Then they describe how proteins made by ribosomes leave the cell. Students also...
Curated OER
Osmosis and Diffusion
For this science worksheet, high schoolers investigate the cell and the process of osmosis and diffusion across the cell membrane and then perform an experiment.
