1.4 Membrane Transport

BioKnowledgy 1.4 Membrane transport from Chris Paine (at Dulwich College Shangai) – taken from his fabulous blog BioKnowledgy.

1.4 Membrane Transport notes to complete (created by Ms Green).

A 13m 35s video lesson from Dan Rott:

Some assessment statements are covered in videos by Stephanie Castle.

Click on ‘Cellular Transport’ to see an interactive animation from Wiley that covers diffusion, osmosis, passive transport & active transport. Or here for an animated, narrated tutorial on how molecules move across the cell membrane (from Sinauer Associates).

DIFFUSION

A short, simple animation demonstrating diffusion (from St Olaf) and here are two fantastic animated, narrated tutorials from McGraw Hill Education – how diffusion works & diffusion through cell membranes.

FACILITATED DIFFUSION

Short, simple animations demonstrating facilitated diffusion with a channel protein and with carrier proteins – three types: uniport, symport, & antiport  (from St Olaf).

An animated, narrated tutorial on the three types of carrier proteins (from Sinauer Associates).

Or here are is a fantastic animated, narrated tutorial from McGraw Hill Education – how facilitated diffusion works.

OSMOSIS

A short, simple animation demonstrating osmosis (from St Olaf) or here are two fantastic animated, narrated tutorials from McGraw Hill Education – osmosis & how osmosis works.

ACTIVE TRANSPORT

A short, simple animation demonstrating Secondary Active Transport – the Na/K pump coupled with the glucose/Na symport (from St Olaf).

ENDOCYTOSIS & EXOCYTOSIS

A short, simple animation demonstrating phagocytosis (from St Olaf) or here is a fantastic animated, narrated tutorial from McGraw Hill Education – Endocytosis & Exocytosis – which includes a quiz.

And here is an animated, narrated tutorial on vesicle budding &  fusing which also includes a quiz (from Sinauer Associates).

Here Paul Andersen gives you a brief introduction to The Cell Membrane.

Mr W’s Cell Membranes rap is good revision as is his Osmosis! rap.

In Crash Course Biology #5 – In Da Club – Membranes & Transport, Hank describes how cells regulate their contents and communicate with one another via mechanisms within the cell membrane.
