General Biology 1
Quarter 1 - Module 1
Cell: the basic unit of life
Learning Competencies:
1. Describe the structural components of the cell membrane
(STEM_BIO11/12-Ig-h-11)
2. Relate the structure and composition of the cell membrane to its
function (STEM_BIO11/12-Ig-h-12)
3. Explain transport mechanisms in cells (diffusion, osmosis,
facilitated transport, active transport) (STEM_BIO11/12-Ig-h-13)
4. Differentiate exocytosis and endocytosis (STEM_BIO11/12-Ig-h-14)
Performance Standards:
The learners should be able to construct a cell membrane model from
indigenous or recyclable materials.
Introduction:
With the pandemic today in the Philippines, you can just imagine our
Cagayan de Oro‘s front liners and law enforcers at the check points of a
city or security guards at the mall entrances (Fig. 7.a) as plasma
membranes (cell membranes) which have a lot of things to do such as
permitting who‘ll enter the establishment (represents the cell) or not and
even exiting is checked as well; Carrying goods in a truck or individuals on
a motorcycle towards a particular cordoned area which depicts different
means or ways on how materials are transported in and out of the cell -
thus the transport mechanisms.
Fig. 7.a Even in a mall or at the checkpoints, the people and objects move from one
location to another; they cross or are contained within certain boundaries. Analogously, a
cell membrane‘s functions involve movement within the cell and across the boundaries in
the process of intracellular and intercellular activities. Just like the law enforcers or security
guards, they allow some substances to pass through, but not others.
What I Know
_1. Which plasma membrane component can be either found on its surface
or embedded in the membrane structure?
a. protein
b. cholesterol
c. carbohydrate
d. phospholipid
_5. Carbohydrates is found outside the surface of the cell and bounded with?
a. lipid or protein
b. phospholipid
c. glycoprotein
d. glycolipid
Fig. 7.c. In 1935, Davson-Danielli, the sandwich model of membrane structure stated that the
membrane was made up of a phospholipid bilayer sandwiched between two protein layers.
Fig. 7.d. In 1972, S. J. Singer and G. Nicolson proposed that the membrane is a mosaic of proteins
dispersed within the bilayer, with only the hydrophilic regions exposed to water.
Fig. 7.e.
Fig. 7.f. The type of hydrocarbon tails in phospholipids – Affects the fluidity of the cell membrane
Fluid Viscous
Terminology:
Amphiphilic or Amphipathic
molecule possessing a polar or charged area and a nonpolar or uncharged area
capable of interacting with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments
Glycolipid
combination of carbohydrates and lipids
Glycoprotein
combination of carbohydrates and proteins
Hydrophilic
molecule with the ability to bond with water; ―water-loving‖
Hydrophobic
molecule that does not have the ability to bond with water; ―water-hating‖
Integral protein
protein integrated into the membrane structure that interacts extensively with the
hydrocarbon chains of membrane lipids and often spans the membrane; these
proteins can be removed only by the disruption of the membrane by detergents
Peripheral protein
protein found at the surface of a plasma membrane either on its exterior or
interior side; these proteins can be removed (washed off of the membrane) by a
high-salt wash
What’s New
2. Watch and Listen carefully to the video and be able to recognize and relate to
each attributes of the structural components of the membrane.
3. Reflect on your life experiences and relate them to the lesson in the video so that
you will be able to write a story analogous to the structural components of the cell
membrane.
What Is It
• Q & A Activity:
2. Are there structural components involved in the membrane that are affected from
the rise and fall of the temperature? What are those structures?
3. What does Fig. 7.f imply regarding the fatty acid or hydrocarbon tail‘s shape when
compared and contrasted in relation with transport mechanism? Explain your
answer.
2. Watch and Listen carefully for you to be able to make a rough draft sketch of
the individual structural components of the membrane through the video clip.
3. Prepare your final draft sketch to me with labels of the indigenous /recyclable
materials you will utilize for each of the structural components for the next
activity.
1. Prepare your final draft sketch with labels of the indigenous /recyclable materials
that you will utilize for each of the structural components for this activity.
2. Prepare your indigenous /recyclable materials and tools kits to start constructing
the cell membrane model.
3. Set your output on a 2x2 sturdy and used illustration board or any platform.
4. Keep your output in a safe place and submit it on the exact date of submission to
be announced by your teacher.

What’s In
The plasma membrane protects the cell from its external environment,
mediates cellular transport, and transmits cellular signals.
Terminology:
Receptor
A protein on a cell wall that binds with specific molecules so that they can
be absorbed into the cell.
