BIOS251 OL, Week 3 Lab

Name:

OL Lab 3: Cell Membrane and Transport: Learn how transporters keep cells
healthy

Learning Objectives:

• Describe the plasma membrane structure using the fluid mosaic model

• Recognize the relative permeability of lipid bilayers to different classes of
molecule

• Compare active and passive transport of molecules

• Identify the 3 modes of active transport and the different classes of ion channel
and carrier molecules

• Relate the expression of specific transport proteins to the cell’s role

Introduction:

A variety of substances move in and out of the cells through the plasma membrane.
Membrane transport is vital for cellular activities. The cells need to be healthy for the
body to work efficiently. From filtration in the kidneys to the contraction of muscles
during exercise, membrane transport contributes to many processes. In this simulation,
you will learn about the structure and function of the cell membrane, and discover why
membrane transporters are vital for healthy cells and the function of organ systems.

In the first part of your mission, you will be introduced to the concepts of selective
permeability and the fluid mosaic models of the plasma membrane. You will explore why
cells need specialized transporter proteins to transport cargo molecules across their
membranes. While some molecules can diffuse across the cell membrane, most
molecules require a transporter protein to enter or leave the cell.

In the later part of the simulation, you will set up a fluorescence microscopy experiment
to learn how the channels, carriers, and pumps that exist in the membrane ensures that
only the right molecules enter under the right conditions and help not only to keep the
cell healthy but also help organ systems to function.
