Topics
- Membrane Channels
- Cell Membrane
- Diffusion
Description
Insert channels in a membrane and see what happens. See how different types of channels allow particles to move through the membrane.
Sample Learning Goals
- Predict when particles will move through the membrane and when they will not.
- Identify which particle type will diffuse depending on which type of channels are present.
- Predict the rate of diffusion based on the number and type of channels present.
