Classify cell transport
Middle school students classify types of cell transport—passive diffusion, osmosis, active transport, and endocytosis—building a systematic understanding of how substances move across cell membranes in the Life Science Cellular Processes unit. Teachers can use this worksheet after an introduction to the cell membrane structure, helping students organize the different transport mechanisms by their energy requirements and direction of movement. Mastery of cell transport vocabulary and concepts is essential for success in later biology study.
Learning objectives
- Classify cell transport mechanisms as passive or active based on energy use
- Distinguish between diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion, and active transport
- Explain how each transport type moves substances relative to concentration gradients
