Week+6+Active+Transport

=**Weekly Content**= Last week we investigated two forms of passive transport, diffusion and osmosis, both of which don not require any energy to occur. This week we will look at active transport of substances across membranes which does require energy to occur.



=Practical= Due to the shortened week, there is no practical. Instead use your time to review what we have learnt so far this term.

=Reading and Other Media= This video is a good summary of both passive and active transport. Watch the video and write down anything you do not understand for discussion in class. media type="youtube" key="kfy92hdaAH0" height="315" width="420"
