Chapter 3A: The Cell A 

10 interesting Facts: 
1. If we didn't have these good bacteria names S. Epidermidis 
on our skin, we might be plague by yeast infection. 
2. Chloroplasts are the organelles that do photosynthesis. 
Cell walls give solid support. 
3. The plasma membrane is the major barrier between the 
cell and the outside world. 
4. The membrane is quite fluid, and fluidity varies in different 
cell types depending on the saturation of fatty acid tail. 
5. Diffusion is the movement of any given type molecules to 
spread out evenly. 
6. Molecules move from areas of higher concentration to 
areas of lower concentration. 
7. Any kind of active transport does not require the cell to 
use energy. 
8. Energy also requires for the cell to engulf large 
substances or groups of molecules like when amoeba eats 
something and also to export substances in large 
quantities. 
9. A membrane of protein often uses ATP. 
10. FUNGI cells don't have chloroplast but they have cell walls.
