3. New cells are produced from existing cells.
Level 1
The cell membrane
Function- regulates the transport of what leaves and enters the
What major cell.
macromolecules
The membrane includes:
make up the cell
membrane? A lipid bilayer- a double sheet of phospholipids that provide a
Level 2 flexible cell structure. Hydrophilic polar phosphate head and
hydrophobic nonpolar fatty acid tail
Embedded proteins- these proteins act as channel pumps to
`
push large polar objects through the cell membrane.
Describe the anatomy of a Cholesterol makes it flexible
phospholipid. Carbohydrate chains- act as a chemical ID card
Level 3 Fluid mosaic model: membrane is made up of many different
parts that freely move.
Based on the
information you
have, is a virus
considered a cell?
Level 4
How is this
knowledge used in
the real world?
Level 5 ***The Fatty acid hydrophobic tails of the phospholipid allow
small, Nonpolar substances to pass through.
EX: oxygen, co2, etc.
Summary:
The cell theory is made from multiple observations and discoveries and explains what
cells are. The cell membrane is semi-permeable and made up of lipid bilayers. A lipid
bilayer is made up of phosphate, polar, hydrophilic heads and fatty acid, hydrophobic,
non- polar tails. The bilayer serves as a flexible barrier for the cell. There are also
proteins and carbohydrates that make up the cell membrane. Fatty acid tails allow small
nonpolar molecules to pass through the membrane.
