Make sure you take detailed, helpful notes while completing this assignment! This is intended to introduce some of the important, basic concepts you need to know before arriving to class the day this is due!
Many of the topics, activities, and assignments in this unit will use the terms/concepts from this assignment, so it's important that you take your time to understand and take notes on this material!
We already learned about the cell membrane's structure and function. We will still need that knowledge in order to understand cell transport and communication for this unit! Answer the review question below based on what you already know:
Now, open the link below in a second tab. You will need to be able to switch back and forth between this Formative and the tab you have this simulation open in.
Throughout this assignment, you will need to open a few different online simulations! Make sure you keep track of which simulation(s) you have open, and which simulation a particular question is asking about.
You'll need this simulation for questions 2 - 3.
Once you open the link in a second tab:
click "Begin Activity"
review the key to understand what the circles in the simulation represent
drag the Temperature slider to the middle
click the Play button and observe what happens
observe what happens as you drag the Temperature slider up to the highest temperature and down to the lowest temperature
Up next is a short video you'll need to watch and take notes on. In order to receive credit for watching the video, you MUST watch the video here on Formative. If you click to open the video in Youtube instead, then Formative will not be able to track your progress, you won't get credit, and you won't see all pop-up questions during the video. :(
Below is a container, with a permeable membrane down the middle. Each side of the membrane starts with a different concentration of solute particles (the circles).
In #8, you were asked about the movement of solute particles across a permeable membrane.
