What's Outside the Cell Membrane ?

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This What's Outside the Cell Membrane ? lesson plan also includes:
  • Project
  • Join to access all included materials

Students examine the cell coats (matrix) of chondrocytes and fibroblasts and observe these cells actively exclude particles which are released around them. They observe the function of the cell membrane as a gatekeeper as it prevents large particles from approaching the cell boundary.
