Diffusion and Cell Size Kit
Product Code : JLI-CLE-11300
Quick Answer: The Diffusion and Cell Size Kit lets students make agar-block model cells of different sizes and use an indicator inside them to see how far a substance diffuses into each in a set time. It has enough materials for 15 groups.

Key Features
- Simulated cells made as agar blocks of different sizes.
- A special indicator in the cells shows the degree of diffusion.
- Shows that a smaller volume favours exchange of material across a cell membrane.
- Enough materials for 15 groups.
- Teacher's manual and reproducible student study guide included.
Technical Specifications

How It Is Used
Groups cut agar blocks of different sizes, place them in the test substance for a set period and then compare how far the indicator colour has spread into each. The results lead to a discussion of why cells need to stay small to move materials in and remove waste effectively.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Diffusion and Cell Size Kit show?
That a smaller volume creates a more favourable condition for exchanging material across a cell membrane, which relates to how cells take in materials and remove waste.
