Using the space below, draw a model (picture, representation) of a cross-section
of a cell membrane, including and labeling the following elements:
a. Phospholipid bilayer, noting hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails
b. Cholesterol
c. Integral membrane proteins (include 1 glycoprotein and label the
carbohydrate)
d. Peripheral membrane proteins
Describe how integral membrane proteins and peripheral membrane proteins are
different in your own words, and include in your description what type of amino
acids you might find on these proteins.
A phospholipid that is destined to become part of the plasma membrane is synthesized inside a cell. Describe the process of making this molecule and its path to becoming part of the plasma membrane, giving specific details about where in the cell it would be for each step and each of the organelles/cell structures involved.
Each compartment of the endomembrane system of a cell is connected to the plasma membrane. Create a simple diagram of a cell including the RER, Golgi apparatus, vesicle, and the plasma membrane. Starting with the RER, use two different colors to represent the inner and outer halves of the bilayer for each of these membranes. What do you observe?

For example, the surface area and volume of a cell affect how efficiently waste is removed from the cell via diffusion. The table below shows data for four different cuboidal cells. Cuboidal cell Side length (um) Cell A 1 Cell B Cell C Cell D Surface area of a cube: A = 6s2 Volume of a cube: V = s3 Using the information from the table, what is the surface-area-to-volume ratio for the cuboidal cell that removes waste via diffusion most efficiently? -1 um 2. 4.arrow_forwardBelow is the skeletal formula of a molecule typically found in cell membranes.

Cell membrane Mitochondria Golgi apparatus Endoplasmic reticulum Ribosome Centrosomearrow_forwardDraw and label a cell lipid bilayer and diagram how the following transport processes take place: passive diffusion of oxygen into the cell, facilitated diffusion of potassium into the cell, active transport of sucrose into the cell. Using different symbols (circles for oxygen, squares for sucrose, and triangles for potassium ions), show the relative concentrations (gradients) of these substances on the inside and outside of the cell. For example, to show that oxygen enters the cell by going “down” its gradient, you would draw more circles on the outside of the cell than inside the cell. Be sure to show and label membrane proteins when appropriate, and show the electric membrane potential using “+”s (pluses) on one side and “-”s (minuses) on the other side of the membrane. Also show the proton pump which uses ATP as a source of energy.arrow_forward
