Cells, Membranes & Exchange — Chapter overview · Life Science: Biology, Grade 10
Connect cell structures, membrane transport, and exchange with the needs of cells.
Chapter question
How do cell boundaries and internal structures support life?
Units in this chapter
- Unit 2.1 · Cell Theory & the Discovery of Cells
I can state the three tenets of cell theory and explain the evidence behind each one.
- Unit 2.2 · Prokaryotic & Eukaryotic Cells & Their Organelles
I can distinguish prokaryotic from eukaryotic cells by their structure.
- Unit 2.3 · The Cell Membrane
I can describe the structure of the phospholipid bilayer and explain the fluid mosaic model.
- Unit 2.4 · Cellular Transport
I can distinguish passive transport (diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion) from active transport and bulk transport.
