Basic I—Matching: Match the part of the cell membrane with description. (½ pt each).

Draggable itemarrow_right_altCorresponding Item

Peripheral protein

Acts as a boundary: BARRIER, and allows small materials to move in and out: TRANSPORT

Phospholipid

arrow_right_alt

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

Receptor

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.
