Transport foldable
Fold 2 pieces of paper so you have 4
flaps and write “Active & Passive
Transport” on the top flap as a title
Write “Passive Transport &
Examples” on the bottom of Flap 2
• Passive transport: movement of molecules
without energy across a membrane from a
high to a low concentration. (write this at
the top of flap 2)
• Write the word Examples under your
definition of passive transport.
Diffusion
• Write the following definition under
“Examples”
– Diffusion: movement of any material
from a high to a low concentration.
• Cut out and glue the diagram of diffusion.
Osmosis: diffusion of Water
• Write the definition: Osmosis—movement
of water from high to low concentration
• Cut out and glue down the osmosis
picture.
Facilitated diffusion
• Write the definition: Facilitated diffusion-movement of molecules from high to low
with transport proteins because the
molecules are too big
• Cut out and glue down the picture of
facilitated diffusion.
Write “Active Transport & Examples”
on the bottom of Flap 3.
• Active transport: uses energy to move
molecules from area of low concentration
to an area of high concentration (against a
concentration gradient, uses proteins)
• Cut out and glue the diagram of active
transport.
Endocytosis/Exocytosis
• Write the following definitions:
• Endocytosis: requires energy to move
large particles inside the cell (cell “engulfs”
food)
• Exocytosis: requires energy to move
particles outside the cell (cell releases
waste)
• Cut out and glue the diagram of
endocytosis
Write “Active vs. Passive” on the
bottom of Flap 4
• Draw a Venn diagram comparing
active and passive transport.
• Label the 1st circle active and the 2nd
circle passive.
• Put the following terms in the correct
circle:
• uses energy, no energy, example = endocytosis, example =
diffusion, against a concentration gradient (low to high), with a
concentration gradient (high to low), transport of materials across a
semi-permeable membrane, example = sodium pump, example =
osmosis
Flap 4 continued
• Write the word high at the top of the flap.
Make 1 arrow coming down from the word
high, make another arrow going up to the
word high. Write the word low at the
bottom of the arrows.
• Label the correct arrows: active, energy,
passive, no energy.
