Cells are highly organized structures with parts that perform specific functions. Starting from the cell membrane with its incomparable abilities not only to provide shape and flexibility to the cell but also to determine the nature of its interaction with its environment. For you to recognize these functions, make an illustration (with a title) that shows a place which resembles a cell membrane. Also, write the things that you think they are similar.
You did a great job on reaching at this far end of this module! Let's wrap up this brilliant learning experience with another exciting activity. As you have gone through the lesson, most cells exist in an aqueous environment. Their cell membranes selectively obtain certain materials from this liquid environment for them to remain alive and prevent some harmful materials from entering. Also, their cell membranes expel out harmful substances, like the waste products of cellular activities, and prevent essential substances from leaving. But what do you think would happen to a cell if its cell membrane lost its selectivity? Make an illustration (with a title) that shows your response to this question.
