Introduction The purpose of these experiments is to examine the driving force behind the movement of substances across a selective or semiperpeable plasma membrane. Experiment simulations examine substances that move passively through a semipermeable membrane‚ and those that require active transport. Those that move passively through the membrane will do so in these simulations by facilitated diffusion and filtration. The plasma membrane’s structure is composed in such a way that it can discriminate

across the membrane if there were open Na+ channels? Na+ would diffuse into the cell. 75. Why did the free nerve ending respond to several different modalities? The sensory end of this nerve is less specialized. 76. Why didn’t the Pacinian corpuscle respond to high-intensity light? Light-transducing proteins are not present in the Pacinian corpuscle. 77. Why do you think TTX is not used during dental procedures? TTX irreversibly blocks voltage-gated sodium channels in axonal membranes. Why

1: Cell Transport Mechanisms and Permeability: Activity 2: Simulated Facilitated Diffusion Lab Report Pre-lab Quiz Results You scored 75% by answering 3 out of 4 questions correctly. 1. Molecules need a carrier protein to help them move across a membrane because Your answer : c. they are too large. Correct answer: d. they are lipid insoluble or they are too large. 2. Which of the following is true of facilitated diffusion? You correctly answered: c. Movement is passive and down a concentration gradient

Phospholipids receive and transmit signals across the cell membrane and act as a store room for energy. The main role of phospholipids is that they can form lipid bilayers. It is an amphipathic molecule. The head which is hydrophilic contains a group of phosphate‚ a diglyceride and a simple molecule e.g. choline. The tail is hydrophobic and is made up of fatty acids. Phospholipids receive and transmit signals across the cell membrane and act as a store room for energy. Fatty acids Fatty acids

Polarization of the neuron’s membrane: cell membrane is surrounded by neurons as other cell has a membrane. If a nerve cell is not stimulated‚ the membrane is known to be polarized. For a neuron to be polarized‚ it is by maintaining excess of sodium ions on the outside of the cell and excess potassium ions on the inner part of the cell. A volume of sodium ions and potassium ions usually leaks through its channel but the sodium ions and potassium ions pumps on the membrane that restores the (k+) back

to an area of low concentration. It goes through the phospholipid bilayer. Facilitated diffusion – Diffusion of particles through the cell membrane‚ assisted by transmembrane proteins. Carrier protein – Transmembrane protein that helps with diffusion of certain substances through a membrane. Active transport - Movement of substances through a membrane against a concentration gradient‚ uses carrier proteins and energy from ATP. Enzyme – A protein that speeds up chemical reactions. ATP (adenosine

Substances will move through the membrane by diffusion. This is the random spreading out of particles until they are even. For example‚ when you put your instant coffee in boiling water‚ the coffee particles spread out and fill the entire mug‚ this is diffusion. A second way that substances can move through the cell membrane is by osmosis. This is a special type of diffusion where water moves from a high to a low concentration through a ’partially permeable membrane’‚ or a membrane specially shaped to only
