    Answer ALL the questions. 1. Discuss briefly fluid mosaic model for membrane structure. (6 marks) Answer: The lipids and most of the protein in the plasma membrane are free to bob about‚ sliding from one location in the membrane to another. Because lipids and proteins move about laterally within the membrane‚ the membrane is a fluid mosaic of lipids and proteins. The membrane fluid is since the composition of any location on the membrane can change. In the same manner that a patchwork quilt is mosaic

    Lab 3 – Homework 1. Purpose of today’s experiment: To determine the effect osmotic pressure might have on cellular membranes‚ specifically when beet slices are placed in NaCl solutions of varying concentrations. 2. Hypothesis: The osmolarity will directly increase with increasing NaCl concentrations. 3. Control = Distilled Water – this was present in all solutions 4. The independent variable – salinity of the 6 solutions; while predetermined‚ the NaCl concentrations varied from 0% to 15%.

    diffusion to take place at a fast rate. The distance a molecule needs to travel across the membrane can also affect the rate of diffusion. If the distance across the membrane is large‚ then the rate of diffusion will be much slower and vise versa. 3. A high temperature can speed up the diffusion process by providing more energy for the molecules and also for eliminating in double bonds in the phospholipid membrane. A low temperature will decline the rate of diffusion‚ as the particles will have less

    high concentration to an area of low concentration. For a diffusion system to be efficient‚ it should have a large surface area so that high amount of substances can be exchanged at a time. It should also have a thin membrane and a continuous supply of substances‚ as a thin membrane means that the diffusion pathway would be short‚ and the continuous supply helps maintain a concentration gradient‚ which is essential for diffusion to take place. There are two main types of diffusion; simple and facilitated

    Mammalian cells are eukaryotic this means that all of their cells have common components‚ membrane bound organelles which prokaryotic cells do not this is shown in figure 1. Organelles are purpose made to carry out a specific function that is necessary within a cell. Due to the specificity of both conditions and concentrations with in these organelles these are compartmentalized. Encasing the organelle in a membrane allows is to do this. In most cases a single phospholipid bilayer is used however in certain

    Active and passive transport are the ways in which cells allow things to move into and out of the cell through the cell membrane. They include many different ways to transport things. Passive transport requires no expenditure of energy by the cell. However‚ Active transport requires ATPs which have energy in order for it to move something through the cell membrane. There are different types of transport to suit the sizes of molecules as well. Passive transport includes diffusion‚ osmosis‚ and
