transport answers

1. Osmosis, diffusion, and facilitated transport
2. Proteins
3. Membrane Proteins
4. Glucose is moving from a higher to a lower concentration
5. Lipid Bi-layer
6. Diffusion of water across a membrane 
7. If it does not pump out all of its extra ions to be even the water is going to move in and it can swell and explode.
8. Energy!!!!!!! 
9. Proteins
10. No , they are very specific.
11. Pumping ions from lower to higher concentration
12. Nerve cells
13. Inhibitors
14. Phagocytosis: cell eats
Pinocytosis: cell drinks
15.the whole cell works during endocytosis. Just a few proteins work during active transport
16. If the cells weren’t small, itd be harder to balance.
17. Proteins: Are the doors for the active transport and facilitated diffusion
Lipids: Make the cell membrane.
Carbs. Provide the energy for active transport

children's book

Children’s book:

Must be 10 pages, 1 for front cover, 1 for back cover, 8 for content. Try to have at least 2 descriptive sentences per page. Keep the topic to the content we have just covered. First book is on Ecology. You can write about any one topic within the main topic, examples are: autotrophs, consumers, symbiosis, predator, mutualism, commensalism, energy transfer, limiting factors, human impact, carrying capacity, predator-prey relationships, or any other area related to ecology that you can think of.
