Cell Membrane Coloring Worksheet

NAME______DATE______PERIOD______

Composition of the Cell Membrane & Functions The cell membrane is also called the ______membrane and is made of a phospholipid ______. The phospholipids have a hydrophilic (water attracting) ______and two hydrophobic (water repelling) ______. The head of a phospholipid is made of an alcohol and ______group, while the tails are chains of ______. Phospholipids can move ______and allow water and other ______molecules to pass through into or out of the cell. This is known as simple ______because it does not require ______and the water or molecules are moving ______the concentration gradient. SKETCH AND LABEL a phospholipid coloring the heads red and the tails blue. PHOSPHOLIPID

Another type of lipid in the cell membrane is ______that makes the membrane more fluid. Embedded in the phospholipid bilayer are ______that also aid in diffusion and in cell recognition. Proteins called ______proteins go all the way through the bilayer, while ______proteins are only on one side. Integral proteins are also called ______proteins. Large molecules like ______or carbohydrates use proteins to help move across cell membranes. Some of the membrane proteins have carbohydrate ______attached to help cells in recognize each other and certain molecules. List 4 functions of the cell or plasma membrane: a. ______b. ______c. ______d. ______

Correctly color code and identify the name for each part of the cell membrane.

1 Letter Name/Color Letter Name/Color _____ Phospholipid bilayer (no color) _____ Peripheral protein (red) _____ Integral protein (pink) _____ Cholesterol (blue) _____ Fatty acid tails (orange) _____ Glycoprotein (green) _____ Phosphate heads (yellow) _____ Glycolipids (purple)

Match the cell membrane structure or its function with the correct letter from the cell membrane diagram.

Letter Structure/Function Letter Structure/Function

_____ Attracts water _____ Repels water _____ Helps maintain flexibility _____ Make up the bilayer of membrane _____ Involved in cell-to-cell _____ Help transport certain recognition materials across the cell membrane

2 Osmosis and Tonicity Define osmosis. ______In which direction does water move across membranes, up or down the concentration gradient? ______Define these 3 terms: a. isotonic- ______b. hypertonic ______c. hypotonic ______

Use arrows to show the direction of water movement into or out of each cell. Color and label the cell in an isotonic environment light blue, the hypotonic environment yellow, and the hypertonic environment light green.

Match the description or picture with the osmotic condition:

A. Isotonic _____ solution with a lower solute concentration

_____ solution in which the solute concentration is the same

B. Hypertonic _____ condition plant cells require

_____ condition that animal cells require

C. Hypotonic _____ red blood cell bursts (cytolysis)

_____ plant cell loses turgor pressure (Plasmolysis)

_____ solution with a higher solute concentration

_____ plant cell with good turgor pressure

_____ solution with a high water concentration

3 Label the tonicity for each solution (isotonic, hypotonic, or hypertonic):

______

Osmosis

Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a differentially permeable membrane It occurs when a solute (example: salt, sugar, protein, etc.) cannot pass through a membrane but the solvent (water) can pass through.

 In areas where the solute concentration is high, the concentration of water molecules is _____.

 In areas where the solute concentration is low, the concentration of water molecules is _____.

If there is no solute, the water is 100% water (high water concentration). Water moves areas where the concentration of water molecules is high (low solute concentration) to areas where the concentration of water molecules is low (high solute concentration).

In general, water moves toward the area with a higher solute concentration because it has a lower water concentration.

In the container on the left side of the diagram, water will enter the cell because water is more concentrated on the outside. In the center drawing, water is more concentrated inside the cell, so water will move out. If the solute concentration is the same inside as it is out, the amount of water that moves out will be approximately to the amount that moves in.

Osmotic pressure is the force of osmosis. In the diagram above, the cell on the left will swell high osmotic pressure. The pressure within the cell is osmotic pressure. 4 Transport Requiring Energy

What type of transport is represented by the following picture? ______What energy is being used? ______In which direction (concentration gradient), is the movement occurring? ______Color the internal environment of the cell yellow. Color and Label the transport proteins red and the substance being moved blue.

One type of active transport is called the ______pump which helps muscle cells contract. This pump uses ______to move ions ______the concentration gradient. The protein that is used to pump the ions through is called a ______protein and it changes its ______to move the ions across the cell membrane. Label and color the carrier proteins red and the ions green.
