Helping students see bacteria in 3D: cellular models increase student learning about cell size and diffusion

ABSTRACTIn the microbial world, cell size and shape impact physiology, but students struggle to visualize spatial relationships between cells and macromolecules. In prokaryotic cells, cell size is limited by reliance on diffusion for nutrient uptake and the transport of nutrients within the cell. Ce...
