BIOS251 OL, Week 3 Lab Name: OL Lab 3: Cell Membrane and Transport: Learn how transporters keep cells healthy Learning Objectives: Describe the plasma membrane structure using the fluid mosaic model Recognize the relative permeability of lipid bilayers to different classes of molecule Compare active and passive transport of molecules Identify the 3 modes of active transport and the different classes of ion channel and carrier molecules Relate the expression of specific transport proteins to the cell’s role Introduction : A variety of substances move in and out of the cells through the plasma membrane. Membrane transport is vital for cellular activities. The cells need to be healthy for the body to work efficiently. From filtration in the kidneys to the contraction of muscles during exercise, membrane transport contributes to many processes. In this simulation, you will learn about the structure and function of the cell membrane, and discover why membrane transporters are vital for healthy cells and the function of organ systems. In the first part of your mission, you will be introduced to the concepts of selective permeability and the fluid mosaic models of the plasma membrane. You will explore why cells need specialized transporter proteins to transport cargo molecules across their membranes. While some molecules can diffuse across the cell membrane, most molecules require a transporter protein to enter or leave the cell. In the later part of the simulation, you will set up a fluorescence microscopy experiment to learn how the channels, carriers, and pumps that exist in the membrane ensures that only the right molecules enter under the right conditions and help not only to keep the cell healthy but also help organ systems to function. Part 1: Complete Labster Cell Membrane and Transport Part 2: Report and Reflection
BIOS251 OL, Week 3 Lab Name: Purpose: Describe in your own words and in complete sentences, the purpose of this experiment. The purpose is for us to get our self-familiarize with the concept and understanding about how the fluid mosaic works. Observations: List 2 observations you have made in this simulation. The Observation is that hypertonic is when the cell shrink and hypotonic is when the cell swell. Answer all the questions below: 1. In complete sentences and in your own words define the following cellular transport: (2 points) a. Diffusion: is the movement of particle that moves down in the concentration gradient which goes from high to low concentration. b. Osmosis: Is the movement of water molecules moving down from high to low concentration. c. Facilitated diffusion: Is when the solutes diffuse in the plasma membrane by transport protein. d. Active transport: Is when solute move from low to high concentration across the concentration gradient.
