1. Learning Target: Build a Cell Membrane Activity
I Can…Create a model of a eukaryotic cell membrane
I know I am successful when I can…
Correctly arrange the structures in a typical eukaryotic cell membrane.
Correctly identify the structures in a typical eukaryotic cell membrane.
Demonstrated by correctly labeling the structures in completed cell membrane.
Correctly describe the function of each structure in the cell membrane.
Resources:
Cell membrane structure templates
Ch. 3.3, pp
Cell Membrane PowerPoint w/ notes
Website simulation mini lesson
Classzone Animated Lesson
Minimum requirements
Your group’s membrane must include at least:
One integral protein with receptor molecule attached
One integral protein without receptor molecule attached
Four embedded cholesterol molecules
One facilitated diffusion protein channel (for water)
One glycoprotein
One active transport protein (Sodium-Potassium pump)
Water molecules on inside and outside of cell
Be sure to have your membrane structure checked before gluing
One water molecule passing through membrane
One oxygen molecule passing through membrane (double blue )
One carbon dioxide molecule (inside or outside cell) (blue-red-blue)
Sodium ions (inside and outside cell)
Potassium ions (inside and outside cell)
All components correctly labeled and function described
*Each group will have a laptop and you may use your phones as a resource for the activity ONLY.
