What’s on the Getting In and Out of a Cell poster
A 3-row table: Process · Direction · Energy?.
The cell membrane is selectively permeable. How something crosses depends on the direction and the size.
- Diffusion — high to low concentration — no
- Osmosis — water, high to low water conc. — no
- Active transport — low to high — against the gradient — yes
Going downhill is free. Going uphill costs energy. That is the whole distinction.

- Ask whether it is moving with the gradient or against it. That decides everything. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Getting In and Out of a Cell belongs on the wall where that science work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Getting In and Out of a Cell?
- Atoms, How Body Systems Work Together and Chemical Reactions sit alongside Getting In and Out of a Cell in the 7th Grade set. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.AtomsHow Body Systems Work TogetherChemical Reactions
- Is the Getting In and Out of a Cell poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Getting In and Out of a Cell downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the 7th Grade set.

- What size does the Getting In and Out of a Cell poster print at?
- Getting In and Out of a Cell is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Getting In and Out of a Cell loses nothing.Printing guide
