Activity 6.2-Membranes Organize a Cell’s Activity Dissect a Plasma Membrane Objective: to understand the structure of a membrane 1. Why is the membrane described as a phospholipid bilayer? It is described as a phospholipid bilayer because there are two layers of phospholipid molecules. 2. How does the arrangement of the phospholipids form a bilayer? The phospholipids arranged in two layers so that the charged phosphate heads interact with the water on either side of the membrane‚ and the

Plasma membranes are selectively permeable. The purpose of this experiment is to reveal how a form of diffusion in a semipermeable membrane works by creating a real life simulation of a semipermeable plasma membrane. This is done by building an imitation of a caterpillar’s digestive tract using dialysis tubing and glassware. The first material in this experiment is a small beaker representing the head and crop of the caterpillar. This beaker is filled with both starch and the enzyme α-amylase. This

Quest 1-2: Describe the fluid mosaic model of plasma membrane structure and list the major components of the membrane. How did scientists discover that the membrane was “fluid”? Explain one experiment that we discussed. • The fluid mosaic model of plasma membrane was the idea that lipids or proteins could move in the membrane laterally. The plasma membrane is made up of a phospholipid bilayer and controls a lot of what goes in and out of the membrane by the organelles from within. The bilayer is

Outline the roles of membrane at the surface of the cell The plasma membrane encloses the cell‚ defines it boundaries and maintains the essential differences between the cytosol and the extra-cellular environment. The separation of the internal and external environment maintains a constant internal environment which is essential for the cell to function efficiently. Membrane receptors can interact with specific molecules corresponding to stimuli such as hormones to generate a signal cascade which

Materials & Methods Brook trout blood was used throughout our experiment as our erythrocyte suspension‚ which consisted of ten drops of fish blood in a test tube containing 10mL of 0.7% NaCl. Eleven other solutions‚ (erythritol‚ xylose‚ monacetin‚ diacetin‚ triacetin‚ urea‚ thiourea‚ glycerol‚ ethylene glycol‚ glucose and fructose) all isosmotic but not necessarily isotonic with the cytoplasm of the erythrocyte‚ were combined with a 0.2mL of well-mixed stock suspension were added to 0.27M of each

Biological Membrane Study: HCl‚ NaOH‚ SDS Objective and Hypothesis: The objective of this lab is to determine the effects of SDS‚ HCl‚ and NaOH on red cabbage cell membrane. Prior knowledge can tell us that the red cabbage is a red-purple color due to a pigment called anthocyanin. This is what we will be testing in the experiment. We also know that HCl is a strong acid (very low pH) and that NaOH is a strong base (very high pH). From information learned in this course (lecture/lab) we can assume
