Homeostasis (and the Cell Membrane King)

Is your class ready to size up the topic of diffusion? Help them get cell shape savvy with a well-written handout. The resource covers how substances such as oxygen passively move through the cell membrane and how cell size and shape...

Lead your high school class on an exploration inside the cell. Individuals investigate the relationships between cells structure and function given their relative locations on the cell membrane. They explore the concept of homeostasis...

Give this summary of 16 pages of a text to your class to deepen understanding of cell permeability, diffusion, ions, and more. The handout portion includes vocabulary clarifications, detailed color diagrams, and important information;...

Ready to begin cell biology in a grand fashion? Start the adventure using a short but thorough video from a vast biology playlist! From prokaryote to eukaryotes, Golgi to chloroplast, the narrator guides viewers through the cell membrane...

Cells are busy places! How do things move around in such a tiny environment? Introduce young life scientists to the types of cellular transport through a video that is part of a large biology playlist. Animated characters demonstrate how...

Without the cell membrane, our cells just couldn't keep it together! What else does this multifunctional membrane do? Take a deeper look at the fluid mosaic model using a video from an expansive biology playlist. Topics include embedded...

How do you get there from here? Explore the three main types of transport within a cell: active, passive, and bulk transport. Reinforce concepts of previous videos with this ninth video of a 10-part series.

A video explaining why homeostasis is necessary and how the cell membrane controls the cell's homeostasis. Teachers can visit Amoeba Sisters' website for a handout that goes along with video. [4:12]

A tutorial about the function of the cell membrane as a selective barrier that moves material into and out of the cell to maintain homeostasis.

In this module, students discover how each cell is organized to complete the function of producing and transporting proteins, and how cells relate to homeostasis of the body.
