Investigate how and why cells transport substances

through their membranes

Class/Period: 6th
Date: 1/5/16 through 1/8//16

Essential Question:
Questions:
Level one: What
might you include
on a list about the
cell theory?

Notes:
1) all living thing are composed of cells *
2) cells are the basic unit of structure and function
3) new cells are produced from existing cells

Lipids make up bilayer in the cell membrane which is used to make the cell membranes soft
Level two: can you explain and flexible. Water and lipids repel each other because water is hydropolic and non-lipids are
how the lipids affect the cell non-polar
membrane?
Level three: How is
lipids and
carbohydrates
related to the cell
membrane?
Level three: how
does solutions
relate to diffusion?
Level four: what
information can
you gather about
the cell membrane
structure

Lipids are related to the cell membrane because they make it flexible and create a barrier so
that not everything is let in and the carbohydrates in a cell membrane detect what can and
what cant enter the cell membrane.*

Diffusion is when the concentration of something goes from high to

low. When diffusion occurs molecules spread just like when solute
is put in a solvent the solute spreads into the solvent *
It looks like this:
The circle is the phosphate head
And the squiggles are the fatty acid tails
The phosphate head are hyropolic
The lipid tails make the cell membrane flexible and create the wall
that the carbohydrates will later on serve as a system to decide
what goes in and out
Through the embedded proteins who function as a channel or
pump to get all that goes in the cell membrane across

Summary:
All living things are composed of cells that make new cells from old cells. Within a cell
there is a cell membrane. The cell membrane is used as a barrier of the cell. It is made
up of lipids which allow flexibly and make up the barrier to not let everything go in and
out. Lipids are hydrophobic. Everything that comes in the cell membrane or tries passes
through embedded proteins as a channel or pump. Finally the carbohydrates decide
what has access to the cell membrane. When the molecules pass into the cell membrane
they diffuse by moving across the cell membrane and equally distributing causing low
concentration with high speed and low ATP.
