This document defines key transport processes in biology - diffusion, osmosis, and active transport - and provides examples of each in plants and humans. Diffusion is the passive movement of molecules from high to low concentration down a gradient. Osmosis is the specific case of diffusion where water moves through a semi-permeable membrane from high to low water potential. Active transport moves molecules against a concentration gradient and requires energy. The document discusses the roles of these processes in nutrient/gas exchange and describes demonstrations of osmosis in plant and animal cells under varying conditions.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

1. Define diffusion and describe the role of diffusion in
nutrients uptake and gaseous exchange in plants
and humans.
Define osmosis and describe the effects of osmosis
on plant and animal tissues.
Define active transport and discuss its
importance as an energy-consuming process
(Pure)
2. •Diffusion is the net movement of molecules
from a region of higher concentration to a
region of lower concentration, down a
concentration gradient.
•The difference in concentrations of the
substance between the two regions is
known as concentration gradient or
diffusion gradient.
7. Examples of diffusion:
Carbon dioxide diffuses from blood capillary
into alveoli and oxygen diffuses from alveoli
into surrounding blood capillaries.
The diffusion of carbon dioxide through the
stomata into the mesophyll cells.
The diffusion of water vapour from the
leaves during transpiration.
8. Osmosis is …
• the net movement of water molecules
• from a region of higher water potential to
a region of a lower water potential
• through a partially permeable membrane
• Involves only water molecules
9. Concentrations of Solutions
Dilute solutions:
- larger number of water molecules (solvent)
compared to another similar solution.
- dilute solutions have a higher water potential,
compared to another similar solution.
- Eg) 5% sugar solution means:
5% sugar molecules;
95% water molecules
10. Concentrated solutions:
- smaller number of water molecules (solvent)
compared to another similar solution.
- concentrated solutions have a lower water
potential, compared to another similar solution.
- Eg) 10% sugar solution means:
10% sugar molecules;
90% water molecules
QUESTION:
Compare between a 5% and 10% sugar solution.
Which one has a higher water potential?
11. Osmosis
Sugars such as starch molecules CANNOT
pass through the partially permeable
membrane (Too big)
However, sugar such as glucose CAN pass
through the partially permeable membrane
(Small enough)
12. Partially
permeable
membrane
Higher water Lower water
potential potential

15. The surrounding
solution has a
higher water
potential than the
solution in the
visking tubing.
Increase.
Water enters the visking tubing by osmosis.
The Visking tubing swells and becomes firm
and turgid.
16. Surrounding
solution has a
lower water
potential than the
solution in the
visking tubing.
Decrease.
Water leaves the visking tubing by osmosis.
The Visking tubing shrinks
and becomes soft and flaccid.
17. The surrounding
solution has the
same water
potential as the
solution in the
visking tubing.
Water level and Visking tubing remain
unchanged.
No net movement of water molecules into and
out of the visking tubing.
18. MicroQues 1
Describe the changes that took place in the
water levels of the solution in the glass tube and
beaker.
19. MicroQues 1
Dilute solution

20. MicroQues 2(a)
State the similarities between osmosis and diffusion.
Both involves movement of substances.
Both involves movement of substances from a
region of its higher concentration to a region of
lower concentration.
Bothinvolves movement of substances down a
concentration gradient.
22. Diffusion Osmosis
How are they alike?
Both involve the movement of molecules
from a region of their higher concentration
to a region of their lower concentration
How are they different?

be made firm and crispy again?
a. Submerge in water
b. Submerge in a 20% sugar solution
c. Submerge in a 30% sugar solution
d. Submerge in a 50% salt solution
25. The cell membrane of living cells are
partially permeable.
The cell wall, however, is non-living, tough
and fully permeable.
In a plant cell, the vacuole membrane
(tonoplast) is also partially permeable.
The cell sap in the large central vacuole of a
plant cell is highly concentrated (low water
potential) as it contains a complex mixture of
substances.
26. Cells in a Solution with
High Water Potential
Water enters the cell by osmosis.
Plant cell
Vacuole increases in size. Plant
cell becomes firm and turgid.
Animal cell
Animal cell swells and may
burst. Why?
27. Why animal cell will burst?
Due to the absence of a cell wall.
Cell wall is strong and relatively inelastic.
28. Cells in a Solution with
Low Water Potential
Water leaves the cell by osmosis.
Plant cell
Vacuole decreases in size and cell
becomes soft and flaccid.
Cytoplasm shrinks away from
cellulose cell wall, through a process
known as plasmolysis.
Watch animation: Plant cell when placed in low/high water potential
29. Cells in a Solution with
Low Water Potential
Animal cell
The animal cell shrinks.
Little spikes appear on the
plasma membrane. This
process is called
crenation.
Watch animation: Animal cell when placed in low/high water potential
30. Importance of turgor pressure
in plants
• Help maintain shape of soft tissues in plants,
especially young stems and leaves
• Changes in movement of plants due to
turgor
• Plasmolysed leaves are flaccid and the cells
can die
31. MicroQues 3
Four plant cells were placed in 20% sucrose
solution, 50% sucrose solution, 80% sucrose
solution and pure water separately.
In the table below,
(a) describe the appearance of the plant cells.
(b) identify the solution that the cells have been
placed in.
32. MicroQues 3
Cell become No change. Cell become Cell become

flaccid. plasmolysed.
Pure water 20% sucrose 50% sucrose 80% sucrose
33. Question
What happens to animal
and plant cells when placed
in solutions with differing
water potentials?
34. Active Transport (PURE)
Requires energy
When substances move from a region of
lower concentration to a region of higher
concentration against a concentration
gradient
Occurs only in living cells as only living cells
respire
Respiration will release energy where part of
it will be used in active transport
35. Active transport is the process in which
particles move from a region of low
concentration to a region of high
concentration, against the concentration
gradient, with the use of energy.
36. Examples of active transport:
The absorption of mineral salts from the
surrounding soil solution by root hair cells.
The absorption of glucose and amino acids
by the epithelium cells in the small intestines
of man, when they are low in concentration.
