Module 1 | Cells as the basis of life
Content 2: Cell function
Lesson 1 | Diffusion and osmosis
-
investigate the way in which materials can move into and out of cells, including but not limited to:
– conducting a practical investigation modelling diffusion and osmosis (ACSBL046)
Lesson 2 | Surface area to volume ratio
-
investigate the way in which materials can move into and out of cells, including but not limited to:
– relating the exchange of materials across membranes to the surface area to volume ratio, concentration gradients and characteristics of the materials being exchanged (ACSBL047)
– examining the roles of active transport, endocytosis and exocytosis (ACSBL046)
Lesson 3 | Cell requirements
