About Cell Membranes and Transport
GoConqr OriginalWhat the page covers
The resources follow the usual path through membrane biology. Some explain membrane structure, such as the Fluid mosaic model and Phospholipid Bilayer mind maps, and a slide set on drawing and labelling the Fluid Mosaic Model. Others cover movement across membranes: diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion, active transport, and endocytosis and exocytosis. A smaller group looks at signal transduction and cell communication.
Where to start
Begin with the mind map Diffusion, Osmosis and Active Transport. It sets out the three main ways substances move in and out of cells, with diffusion described as movement from high to low concentration. Then open Active Transport, which contrasts that with movement from low to high concentration.
If you are working towards A-level, OCR - A-Level - Biology - Biological Membranes covers the functions of the cell surface membrane. The mind map Biology ~ 1.4: Membrane Transport adds the factors that affect the rate of diffusion, such as surface area, concentration and diffusion path.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a map first, then test yourself. The Cell Membrane and Transport Practice Test asks about diffusion and about what happens to a plant cell placed in a saltwater solution. OSMOSIS QUESTIONS gives you focused practice on water movement across a semi-permeable membrane. Biology 2.1.5 Bulk transport uses fill-in-the-blank prompts on endocytosis and exocytosis.
- Read one mind map on a single idea.
- Take a quiz on that idea.
- Go back to the map for any answer you missed.
- Run through a flashcard deck, such as Cellular Transport Vocabulary, to fix the key terms.
Levels and exams
Most resources suit secondary study, and the listed material mentions GCSE Biology, IGCSE Biology, A-level Biology, AS Biology, AP Biology and IB Biology. A few notes and decks come from university lectures and can help with extra reading.
Where it fits
This unit sits in the Molecules and Cells strand of Biology and natural sciences. Teachers can pick a map or quiz to set as revision, and anyone can start with a quiz and see what turns up.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Try the mind map Diffusion, Osmosis and Active Transport. It gives a short overview of the three main ways substances cross membranes. After that, take the Cell Membrane and Transport Practice Test to check what stuck and see which parts need another look.
What do the mind maps on this page cover?
They cover membrane structure, including the fluid mosaic model and the phospholipid bilayer, and the main kinds of transport: diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion, active transport and bulk transport. Some also look at signal transduction and cell signalling, so you can follow the topic outwards.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Which exams do these resources suit?
Most of the material is secondary level. The listed resources mention GCSE Biology, IGCSE Biology, AS Biology, A-level Biology, OCR A-level Biology, AP Biology and IB Biology. Check any resource against your own course, since contributors write for different specifications.
Is there anything on endocytosis and exocytosis?
Yes. The quiz Biology 2.1.5 Bulk transport asks you to fill in the blanks on bulk movement of material into and out of the cell. There is also a note on the types of endocytosis from a lecture, and a flashcard deck on exocytosis and the plasma membrane.
What if I can't find the topic I need?
Browse the other formats first, since the same idea often appears as a quiz, a map and a deck. Searching by exam board or term, such as osmosis or water potential, can help too. You can also make your own resource on the gap.
