Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
How does active transport work?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. Active transport moves substances from a more dilute solution to a more concentrated solution (against a concentration gradient).
  2. Active transport requires energy from respiration.
  3. Active transport allows mineral ions to be absorbed into plant root hairs from very dilute solutions in the soil.
  4. Plants require ions for healthy growth.
  5. Active transport also allows sugar molecules to be absorbed from lower concentrations in the gut into the blood which has a higher sugar concentration.
  6. Sugar molecules are used for cell respiration.
  7. Students should be able to describe how substances are transported into and out of cells by diffusion, osmosis and active transport
  8. students should be able to explain the differences between the three processes.
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students
Keywords:
  • Ion: Charged atom/particle. (1)
  • Respiration: Reaction releasing the energy from glucose to be used for cells to carry out activities. (1)
  • Active Transport: the movement of a chemical across a partially permeable membrane against its concentration gradient using energy from respiration. (1)

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. What is active transport?
    Active transport is a process that moves substances from a more dilute solution to a more concentrated solution (against a concentration gradient).
  2. Does active transport require energy?
    Active transport requires energy from respiration.
  3. How does active transport allow plants to absorb esstential ions from soil?
    Active transport allows mineral ions to be absorbed into plant root hairs from very dilute solutions in the soil.
  4. Why do plants require ions from the soil?
    Plants require ions for healthy growth.
  5. How does active transport allow sugar to move from the gut into the blood when it has a higher sugar concentration?
    Active transport also allows sugar molecules to be absorbed from lower concentrations in the gut into the blood which has a higher sugar concentration.
  6. Why is sugar esstential to cells of living things?
    Sugar is esstential to cells of living things as it is used for cell respiration
  7. What are the three ways that substances can enter and leave cells?
    Diffusion, osmosis and active transport.
  8. What are the differences between diffusion, osmosis and active transport?
    Diffusion is the spreading out of particles down a concentration gradient with/without a partially permeable membrane. Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of high concentration to a low concentration solution across a partially permeable membrane. Active transport is the movement of ions in solution across a partially permeable membrane through carrier proteins, this requires energy

Starter Activity Differentiation and Challenge question/task
  • Students to copy and complete the keywords.
  • Teacher reveals missing letters; Students correct mistakes;
  • Discuss the scientific meanings of the words.
  • Students to write down the definitions of the most important / new keywords.
  • Discuss the 'Memory Anchor'.
    • What does it show?
    • How does it relate to the what we are learning about today (title)?
Think about PACE – Develop, consolidate and deepen knowledge, skills and understanding
