Transport Across Cell Membranes

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Materials don't need a password to move through cell membranes! Learners explore how cells move materials across the cell membrane. The video then teaches the detailed workings of both passive transport (specifically diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis) and active transport (specifically the sodium potassium pump, endocytosis, and exocytosis).
