    Organelle: Plasma membrane Structure: The plasma membrane has many proteins inbedded in it and is made up of two layers of phosphilipids. The structure is phospho liquid bilayer and it froms a barrier between two aqueous compartments. Function: The plasma membrane in eukaryotic cells is responsible for controlling what goes in and out of the cell. Series of proteins stuck in the membrane help the cell to communicate with the surrounding environment it’s in. This communication can include sending

    has stopped‚ what cellular processes and membrane functions are going to be affected by the loss of oxygen‚ blood glucose‚ and waste removal? Without the heart pumping the oxygen and blood glucose won’t reach the vital organs of the body that need them for sustenance. Eventually without the ability to produce ATP the body’s cells will die. C. Which intracellular organelles have membranes as part of their structure? How would the breakdown of the membranes of these structures affect the function

    of water across a membrane. Diffusion occurs when certain substance‚ such as an ion‚ is more concentrated on one side of membrane. If the membrane allows this ion through‚ the ions will move from the more concentrated side to the less concentrated side until reaching equilibrium. A cell’s tonicity indicates in which direction is the net flow of water and is based on the ionic content of the cell. A cell which is isotonic has an ionic concentration identical inside the membrane and out. Since the

    why increasing extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative value. How well did the results compare with your prediction? Your answer: If extracellular K+ is increased then the intracellular K+ will decrease. Fewer intracellular K+ ions would result in the membrane potential being less negative. This is what I predicted to happen. 3. Explain why a change in extracellular Na+ did not significantly alter the membrane potential in the resting neuron? Your answer:

    The first lab will investigate the movement of glucose and starch across a selectively permeable membrane through a process of diffusion. The movement of a solute through this membrane is called dialysis . Diffusion is a form of passive transport. It is the movement of molecules from areas of higher concentration to those of lower concentration‚ until there is an even concentration. This movement is random because it is a result of kinetic energy. Diffusion is a slow process‚ but there are many factors

The cell membrane structure-Fluid mosaic model The cell membrane separates a watery cytoplasm from a watery external environment also known as ECF. The phospholipids are arranged in a double layer (lipid layer) with the hydrophilic heads facing outward (cytoplasm or ECF) and the hydrophilic tails turned in towards each other. The unsaturated fatty acids are not bonded to each other and form a fluid
