The plasma membrane is a fluid phospholipid bilayer. The outside of the bilayer is hydrophilic portions of porteins and phospholipids because they are exposed to water. This results in a stable membrane structure. Inside the bilayer hydrophobic portions of proteins and phospholipids because the inside of the bilayer is nonaqueous. the proteins bob in the fluid bilayer of phospholipids. The proteins also vary in structure and function. There are teh integral proteins; transmembrane

1 Experiment Membrane Transport Objectives ► Referring to energy‚ what two ways can substances enter a cell? What is active transport? What is passive transport? How is osmosis related to diffusion? How can we demonstrate active transport? How can we demonstrate Brownian movement? How can we demonstrate diffusion (2 ways)? How can we demonstrate osmosis (3 ways)? In terms of relationships between substances‚ how can we define “hypertonic”‚ “isotonic”‚ and “hypotonic”? What is the relationship

communication between cells. Cell communication is a crucial process necessary for cells to carry out various functions. Drugs such as Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA)‚ known as ecstasy‚ can create barriers or confusion to cells. Cell to cell communication carry messages from signaling cells to target cells. Usually a cell will bind with a target cell through a receptor protein in the plasma membrane of the target cell

of war. There are many different aspects of war that can affect the environment and the people of our world‚ but there is one specific facet of war that could be considered most detrimental chemical warfare. "Chemical warfare is warfare (and associated military operations) using the toxic properties of chemical substances to kill‚ injure or incapacitate the enemy" (Chemical Warfare). But not only does it leave its mark on society and the people of the world‚ chemical warfare can destroy the unique

Stress and Cellular Membranes Bio Lab SBI 4U1 Due: Sept 24th‚ 2010 For: Ms. Barton By: Ameema Saeed Introduction: (See attached lab) Purpose: (See attached lab) Hypotheses: Tap water will cause no damage to the membranes. The extreme temperatures of the water cooled to 0°C‚ and heated to 94-100°C will greatly damage the membranes. Extreme heat will be more damaging than extreme cold. The more concentrated the solvent‚ the more damage it will cause to the membranes‚ therefore the solvent

Properties of life‚ Basic Chemical Terminology‚ Molecules and Compound of a cell Properties of life: All living things are made of cells and keep certain characteristics in common. All living things are divided into several characteristics: order‚ reproduction‚ growth and development‚ energy processing‚ respond to the environment‚ regulation and evolution. Cells are either made of prokaryotic or eukaryotic. Prokaryotic is simple‚ small and lacking membrane-enclosed membrane. Eukaryotic is more
