Cell membranes and the factors that affect its integrity are studied, with Beet tissue used as the model. A poster to display findings of the permeability of the membranes would clarify understanding and also allow a layer of language...

Students draw a diagram to show the fluid mosaic model of a membrane. They explain how hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties help membranes hold their shape. They identify the functions of different cell membrane proteins as well.

I can move about freely, but you cannot. The class models the movement through cell membranes by way of passive and active transport. Members of the class play the roles of various proteins, atoms, compounds, and cell actions and mimic...

Just as skin covers your body limiting what can go in and out, plasma membranes cover cells to do the same. Scholars begin with a presentation that gives overview of the structure and function of plasma membranes. Then, they learn how...

Young scientists demonstrate their understanding of cell transport on this comprehensive worksheet. Focusing on cellular structure and the different processes that allow materials to move into, out of, and throughout animal...

Learners distinguish between active and passive transport. Students identify key words associated with active and passive transport. They draw and explain the structure f the cellular membrane. They are able to define phospholipid...

In this cell organelles worksheet, students read the structure and function of different plant and animal cell organelles to determine what organelle is being described. Students write in the 15 organelles into a chart.

Investigate how Vitamin E is used to prevent cell aging. Young scientists coat the surface of apples and bananas with oil, Vitamin E, and water. They place each in a petri dish and cover them to observe oxidation over time. They answer 8...

Students identify and define several related vocabulary terms. Students complete a short lab and complete the questions. Students create a cell crossword puzzle and play cell computer games through the included links.

In this cells worksheet, students define 14 words associated with cells. They answer 12 short answer questions about the structure and function of the cellular system.

In this plasma membrane worksheet, students will explore how cells are able to maintain homeostasis and the function of the plasma membrane. This worksheet has 6 fill in the blank and 7 true or false questions.

Students conduct lab test with minced onion to determine where chromosonal DNA is located within the cell, and whether or not it can be extracted.

The fluid mosaic model provides an explanation of the structure of biological membranes. It explains why a membrane can perform all of its functions, e.g., permeability and adhesion. This resource describes the main components of a cell...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Activity explores proteins in the plasma membrane describing their structure and function. The Fluid Mosaic Model is also summarized.

This cellular biology page presents extensive detail on the chemical nature of the cell membrane. Using the Chime plug-in, students can manipulate and study models of the membrane.

Students compare and contrast passive and active transport by playing a game to model this phenomenon. Movement through cell membranes is also modeled, as well as the structure and movement typical of the fluid mosaic model of the cell...

Explanation of complex and dynamic cell structures that are selective in regards to what is allowed to enter and exit cells.

Article takes a look at the different components (protein, lipid, cholesterol, and carbohydrate) of the plasma membrane, examining their roles, their diversity, and how they work together to make a secure boundary around the cell.

Diagrams and animations help you understand the basics of cell membrane structure and function.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Describes proteins in the plasma membrane.

Discusses the structure of a cell membrane, the role of membrane proteins, and the differences between integral membrane proteins and peripheral membrane proteins as regards to their functions, location, and relationship with the...
