A problem-solving approach to teaching electrochemical driving force to undergraduates.
The diversity of students in the typical undergraduate general physiology course demands consideration of several important education objectives: the instructor seeks to provide students with a sound understanding of basic physiological concepts, sharpen their analytical skills, and demonstrate how universal physicochemical laws determine function within living systems. These objectives converge in a problem-solving approach to electrochemical driving force and ion flux across biological membranes.
