    Glucose in Yeast Cells Glucose is absorbed across the cell surface membrane (plasma membrane) of most cells. A convenient way to investigate this is to use a solution of glucose and a suspension of yeast cells. The amount of glucose taken up from the glucose solution by yeast cells in a fixed length of time can be measured. At the end of the fixed length of time‚ further uptake of glucose is prevented by transferring the yeast suspension to a boiling water bath to kill the yeast cells. If the suspension

    central and critical role in the cell as the genetic information in which all the information required to duplicate and maintain the organism. Today‚ Scientists can analyze DNA from minute samples of blood‚ hair roots and saliva‚ but before they can analyze DNA‚ scientists must be able to extract it. The process of DNA extraction is the first step for many laboratory procedures. Scientists must be able to isolate the DNA from the other unwanted substances of the cell gently enough so that the DNA is

(B) Hydrophobic Tail- These tails are like to stay away from water‚ so they face inward. We used green pipe cleaners because they resemble hydrophobic tail by the way they can bend and be easily shaped. (C) Ion Channel- Ions channels transport polar atoms like‚ Na+‚ K+‚ Ca++‚ and Cl-‚ in and out of the cell from high concentration to low concentration
