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.
