Big Ideas
- Cells maintain internal balance (homeostasis) by controlling the movement of molecules across their membranes.
- Cellular transport processes are essential for the survival and proper functioning of all living organisms.
Essential Questions
- How does the movement of molecules across cell membranes support homeostasis?
- What are the differences between passive and active cellular transport?
- Why is maintaining homeostasis essential for cells and organisms?
- How do different types of molecules get transported into and out of cells?
- What environmental factors can disrupt cellular homeostasis, and how do cells respond?
