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.

- account_circle Science Anatomy and PhysiologyQ&A LibraryWhich of the following statements regarding the selective permeability of the lipid bilayer is FALSE? A. the permeability of the lipid bilayer to different substances varies. B. The lipid bilayer component of the plasma membrane is highly permeable to nonvolatile molecules such as oxygen. C. The more hydrophobic or lipid soluble a substance is, the greater the lipid bilayers permeability to that substance. D. The lipid bilayer component of the plasma membrane is moderately permeable to ions and large, uncharged polar molecules Which of the following statements regarding the selective permeability of the lipid bilayer is FALSE?

- LAB EXERCISE 3A A. Cell Membranes. In the square provided, draw a double layer of phospholipids with a large protein embedded within it. Label the parts of this phospholipid bilayer that are partially charged (polar) and uncharged (non-polar). B. Anatomy of a Cell. Draw a "typical" cell in the space below (see lecture notes or the labeled/unlabeled Images on Canvas). Sketch the following organelles within the cell and label them.

- 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.
