Draggable itemCorresponding Item
Marker
Acts as a boundary: BARRIER, and allows small materials to move in and out: TRANSPORT
Receptor
Allows large materials to move in and out: TRANSPORT
Channel
Receives messages that direct cell work and receives like a lock and key message: COMMUNICATION
Phospholipid
Identifies the cell--like a nametag, important for the immune system: COMMUNICATION

Basic II—Multiple Choice: Select the best answer from the choices below (1 pt each).
Which of the seven criteria of life is the cell membrane MOST ESSENTIAL for maintaining?

1

When materials diffuse, they:

1

A cell moves particles from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration by ________________ with the use of ATP energy?

1

The movement of material across the membrane during diffusion stops when:

1

The cell membrane contains channels and receptors that help move materials from one side to the other. What are these channels made of?

1

Osmosis is the movement of________.

2

For each beaker below, decide which direction the material (water, sugar or salt in the beaker solution) will diffuse. Circle either INTO the cell or OUT of the cell for each beaker.

2

Proficient I—Diffusion: Water, sugar and salt are able to be transported across the membrane. Complete the diagram for a cell below:
  • Calculate the amount of solutes present in the solution.
  • Use and label arrows to illustrate which substance(s) is/are moving into or out of the cell.

Advanced: Creating and Explaining Diagrams ( 3pts)
Draw a cross section of cell membrane in the space below. Include these items:
  • Draw tails on the phosphate heads
  • Add 2 channel proteins
  • Add 1 receptor protein
  • Label the cytoplasm
  • Label the hydrophobic area
  • Label the hydrophilic area

Add to your diagram. (2pts)
1. Carbon dioxide
  • Add CO2 to your diagram using ▲s. Distribute the CO2 so that the molecule will diffuse out of cell.
  • Draw an arrow and label the arrow to show which part of cell membrane the CO2 molecule would pass through.
2. Glucose
  • Add GLUCOSE to your diagram using ⬡s. Distribute the GLUCOSE so that the molecule will diffuse into the cell.
  • Draw an arrow to show which part of cell membrane the glucose molecule would pass through.
