All living cells have a cell membrane and it is probably the most important organelle of a cell. The cell membrane is composed of a phospholipid‚ proteins and carbohydrates. The phospholipids are arranged in a bilayer with the hydrophilic ends facing out and the hydrophobic ends facing the inside of bilayer. Membranes can contain phospholipids with different fatty acids which affects the strength and flexibility of the membrane. There are two different proteins in cell membranes. One is a protein

Cell Membrane The Cell Membrane- The cell membrane is a semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell; the cell membrane is made up of phospholipids‚ proteins and carbohydrates. Its function is to protect the integrity of the interior of the cell allowing certain substances into the cell‚ while keeping other substances out. The phospholipids form a thin‚ flexible sheet while the proteins float in the phospholipid sheet like an ice berg‚ and the carbohydrates extend out from the

There are many ways in which substances can move across the cell membrane and in which then helps in the function of the body (cells‚ tissues and organs) overall. There are 3 processes that a substance can move across the membrane‚ theses are diffusion (simple and facilitated)‚ osmosis and active transport. Both diffusion and osmosis are passive processes‚ which mean they do not need energy to occur‚ whereas active transport does require energy. All three processes are involved in many functions

The Effect of temperature on beetroot This experiment is designed to investigate the effect of varying temperature (centigrade) on beetroot and its cells. My earlier experiment suggest that as temperature increases the integrity of the beetroot cell membrane will be destroyed and a subsequent release of beetroot pigment will be released into its surrounding milieu(in this case distilled water). In the experiment I will examine if my hypothesis (above) is correct. In order to conduct this experiment

8 themes of biology relating to the cell membrane Science as a process: Science is a process which encompasses many methods in order to reach a final conclusion. This relates to the cell membrane because it carries out many processes to reach a final product. For example‚ the cell membrane forms a barrier between the inside of the cell and the outside‚ so that the chemical environments on the two sides can be different. The cell controls those differences to optimize the working of the organelles

There are many kind of cell membrane disease‚ There are : Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis is a disease that cause by gene mutation of CFTR Protein. CFTR it’s stand for Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator. This disease causes too much production of thick mucus‚ then the mucus will blocked the ion transport in epithelial cells that line the passageways of the lungs‚ pancreas‚ and other organs. If the passageways of the lungs is blocked by the thick mucus‚ it will make the sufferer
