Modeling the Cell Membrane
In this membrane permeability activity, students read introductory information about the cell membrane structure as it pertains to permeabillity and draw a representation of the membrane as they complete a lab. Students record the...
Concord Consortium
Diffusion Across Semipermeable Membranes
Mitochondria use two semipermeable membranes to work properly. Young scientists adjust the pore size for two membranes. They then observe the diffusion of two different sizes of molecules.
