Investigating the Effect of Temperature on the Permeability of Membranes The permeability of membranes can be altered in several ways. From previous preliminary work I know that reagents‚ for example detergents and alcohol alter the arrangement of the phospholipids in the membrane allowing substances to leak out of the cell. Temperature also affects the membrane. As membranes relay on protein molecules to allow molecules to enter and leave the cell through facilitated diffusion the temperature must not

Chapter 2 IB Biology 2.1 Cell Theory 2.1.1 Outline the cell theory (2). • All organisms are composed of one or more cells • Cells are the smallest units of life • All cells come from preexisting cells • TOK: cell theory replaces the former ideas of spontaneous generation or abiogenesis in which inanimate matter assembles itself into living forms • Exception: muscle cells- more than 1 nucleus‚ very long; (fungal cells) hyphae roots- not a single unit; protoctista- not specialized to single

1a. Aquaporins are membrane proteins that have fourteen various structures however the most common form is that of a homotetramer. The homotetramer is often found in the membrane and composed of four aquaporin membranes. The structural arrangement creates a fifth channel in the middle that allows for gas transportation. 1b. The direction of H2O molecular flow through a channel is determined by an osmotic gradient. 1c. One of the mechanisms that prevents proton channeling is due to the (ar/R) and

ASSIGNMENT - Why is a cell microscopic? By Lachlan Bryant This research assignment will discuss why cells are usually microscopic in size‚ given that they need to be able to exchange material with their surrounding environment. The cell is highly organised with many functional units or organelles (Spurger).A membrane is a fluid mosaic which consists of proteins‚ lipids and carbohydrates which seperates the cell from it’s surrounding environment or subdivides a cell into specialised regions or

three main parts of a cell. plasma membrane-forms a cell’s flexible outer surface‚ separating the cell’s internal environment (inside the cell) from its external environment (outside the cell) cytoplasm- consists of all the cellular contents between the plasma membrane and the nucleus. nucleus- is the largest organelle of a cell. The nucleus acts as the control center for a cell because it contains the genes‚ which control cellular structure and most cellular activities The cell is the basic‚ living

can diffuse across cell membranes while some substances must be transported across the membrane by proteins. The membrane is in control of what enters and leaves the cell. However‚ certain conditions may damage the cell membrane’s structure. Beet cells‚ which are plant cells‚ have a water-soluble pigment called betacyanin‚ which is stored in its vacuole. The tonoplast‚ or the vacuole’s membrane‚ acts with the cell membrane of the cell to prevent the betacyanin
