The cytoplasm of a certain cell is composed of a solution that is 98% water, 2% solutes. Consider the solution shown in the beaker in this picture: FOOE OOS Foor solution. [Select] Cytoplasm is 98% water, 2% solutes. The solution in the beaker would be considered when compared to [Select] The plasma membrane is impermeable to solutes. Beaker solution is 98% water, 2% solutes the cell. We would expect that the cell would [Select] if it was placed in the would account for whatever changes might occur to the volume of the cytoplasm of the cell when it is placed in the solution.
Our current concept of the plasma membrane is called the fluidmosaic model. Why?

BEAKER #I The solution inside the beaker is: % water % salt The solution inside the cell is: 90 10 % water % salt 20% salt How will the water move? Into the cell or out of the cell? 10% salt How will the movement of water affect the cell? The cell O Water molecules This is a(n) solution.
You will create a hand drawn, 2-dimensional, labelled diagram of the plasma membrane (not a 3D diagram). Label the following structures in your diagram: A phospholipid A peripheral protein An integral protein A cholesterol Intracellular and extracellular portion of the membrane Hydrophobic and hydrophilic areas Also include a detailed drawing of a single phospholipid labeling its component
What is unique about plasma membrane? Why is it advantageous for the plasma membrane to be fluid in nature? How does the sodium-potassium pump contribute to the net negative charge of the interior of the cell? In medicine, why is it important to administer only isotonic intravenous solutions to patients? Example of isotonic IV fluids are normal saline and lactated Ringer’s solution. Potassium is a necessary nutrient in order to maintain the function of our cells. What would occur to a person that is deficient in potassium?
The rigidity of the plasma membrane is an essential characteristic that allows for cells to survive and thrive in various environments. What are examples of conditions or molecules that can alter plasma membrane rigidity?
What other cell ultrastructures do you expect to interact with the cell membrane?
IN the figure for D: The organization of a protein that normally resides in the plasma membrane in shown in the figure below. The boxes labeled 1,2 3 and 4 represent membrane-spanning sequences and the arrow represents a site of action of signal peptidase. Given this diagram, which of the following statements must be true? (C) (D) oplasmic Reticulum The N-terminus of this protein is in the ER lumen The mature version of this protein will span the membrane twice, with both the N- and C-terminus in the cytoplasm. Two of the answers are correct The C-terminus of this protein is in the ER lumen
the structure of the plasma membrane is best described as: two layers of phospholipids stacked on top of each other, with proteins embedded in the phospholipids Oa single layer of proteins and polysachharides mixed together two layers of proteins stacked on top of each other O many sheets of peptidoglycan stacked on top of each other O one layer of triglycerides on top of a layer of proteins
The plasma membrane of E. coli is approximately 75% protein and 25% phospholipid by weight. It is known that the average membrane protein molecular weight is 50,000 Da and an average membrane phospholipid molecular weight is 750 Da. Calculate the number of membrane phospholipid molecules present per molecule of membrane protein. number of membrane phospholipid molecules: molecules Select the additional information that one would need to calculate the fraction of membrane surface covered by phospholipids. the average densities of a 50,000 Da protein and a 750 Da phospholipid the number of moles of protein and phospholipid in the membrane the surface area of the E. coli cell the average cross-sectional areas of a 50,000 Da protein and a 750 Da phospholipid in a bilayer
Diffusion is incredibly important for the proper functioning of cells. Our question today is whether or not it is diffusion that is the cause of the commonalities between different cells in their size and shape. You will be measuring the rates of diffusion in cell models that are cut into different shapes and sizes
