FOCUS ON INTERACTIONS
A human pancreatic cell obtains O2—and necessary molecules such as glucose, amino acids, and cholesterol—from its environment, and it releases CO2 as a waste product. In response to hormonal signals, the cell secretes digestive enzymes. It also regulates its ion concentrations by exchange with its environment. Based on what you have just learned about the structure and function of cellular membranes, write a short essay (100-150 words) to describe how such a cell accomplishes these interactions with its environment.

- For each of the following scenarios please describe which part of the cell theory is supported by this evidence. Options: • • • Cells come from preexisting cells, cells are the basic unit of life, all living things are made of cells 1. A botanist (plant scientists) named Schlieden studied a large variety of plant cells under the microscope and found that all plants were made of cells. Option 1 2. A scientist named Leeuwenhoek found that after studying a wide variety of organisms the smallest living organism he observed was made of only one cell. Option 1 3. A scientist named Virchow viewed cells under a microscope and found that cells would grow and split into new cells. Option 1 4. A zoologist (animal scientist) looked at a large amount of different animal tissues under a microscope and found that all animals are made of cells. Option 1 5. Robert Hooke studied cork and many other substances and found that they contained little square boxes he called cells. Option 1arrow_forwardPlants and animals are both made up of eukaryotic cells. Does this mean they have the same kinds of organelles? Why or why not? A complex of protein and RNA that assembles proteins. A cell makes and secretes a certain protein. Explain where it is made, how it is secreted from the cell, and what kind of transport is used. Why do some molecules need help moving across a cell membrane in the form of energy?arrow_forwardWhat's More Since you have already learned the principal components and functions of the cell membrane, the activity below is provided for you. The table below consists of three columns with the pictures found in the first column. Then, on the second column, you have to write the component of the cell membrane which is analogous to the presented pictures/illustrations. You can choose between PHOSPHOLIPID, CARBOHYDRATE, CHOLESTEROL, INTEGRAL PROTEINS, and PERIPHERAL PROTEINS which may be used more than once. Lastly, on the third column, you have to write the SPECIFIC FUNCTION of the component of the cell membrane that is depicted by each picture/illustration.
