Essential Question: How and why do substances move across the cell membrane?

Questions: Notes:

Cells:
How are cells made? (L1) During the 1600s, microscopes began to be used.
` All cells have genetic materials.
All cells are the basic unit of life.
Cells are made from prehistoric cells.
When can you tell
the difference Prokaryotic cells:
between cells and Living things with no nucleus.
prokaryotic cells?
(L2) Robert Hooke

If you were a Robert Hooke described pieces of cork and stated that
scientist, how they looked like cells.
would you find new
ways to discover
things about cells?
(L4)
Cell membrane:
The cell membrane supports and protects the cell.

When can a cell

membrane go
through a situation
in which it protects
the cell? (L2)

Lipid Bi-layer:
The lipid-bilayer is a double sheet of phospholipids that makes up
the cell membrane.

The lipid bi-layer provides a flexible structure that forms a strong

barrier between the cell and its surrounding.
If you were a
scientist, how can
you determine
where would you
find a Lipid bi-
layer? (L3)

Ex: Using energy to go up a stream of water.
If you were a Passive Transport:

Hypertonic, Hypotonic, and Isotonic:

Hypertonic: when water leaves a cell membrane

(L3) and out of the cell membrane.

Summary: I learned that molecules move across the cell membrane because molecules move from areas of high to
low concentration. Some molecules even move from areas of low to high concentration. There are two types of
transports. The two types of transports are active and passive transports. Active transport requires energy. Active
transport requires energy because it moves from an area of low to high concentration. An example is swimming up
a stream. This means that you must fight through the water flow to go up it, and you need energy to move. Passive
transport does not require energy because there is movement from an area of high to low concentration. Suppose
that you are going down a stream of water. This means the you can sit back and flow with the water going
downhill. As you can see, this does NOT require energy to move. Another reason why substances move through
the cell membrane is because there is protein pumps. Protein pumps allows water molecules to go throughout the
cell.
