YOUR SUMMARY SHOULD BE BETWEEN 4-8 SENTENCES- no more, no less.

Movement Across the Membrane Flowchart: HW

Flow Chart:
A flow chart organizes information by connecting  vocab words so they flow from one big, general category (“Movement Across the Membrane”) to multiple specific categories (“hypotonic”).

Make your own flow chart using all of the words in the listed below. Include a definition and/OR diagram for each. This will be graded.
Words For Your Chart:

-Title/top box: “Movement Across the Membrane”

-selective permeability

-diffusion

-osmosis

-facilitated diffusion

-active transport

-cells in solutions:

  -hypertonic

  -isotonic

  -hypotonic
