The document is a biology worksheet about cell membranes and transport across cell membranes. It includes sections on the structure of the cell membrane, membrane properties, membrane models, membrane proteins, cholesterol, glycoproteins and glycolipids, passive transport mechanisms like diffusion and osmosis, active transport mechanisms like pumps and cotransport, and how surface area to volume ratio affects cell transport efficiency. Students are asked to define terms, sketch diagrams, compare models, and explain concepts.

The Cell Membrane
● Cell membranes are composed of a double layer of _________________________ with proteins & other molecules embedded within.
● Thus, the cell membrane is often referred to as
a ___________________________________.
Membrane Properties Which properties of phospholipids cause them to form a double-layered membrane? _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________
Sketch a diagram of a phospholipid bilayer in the space below. Label the hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions of each phospholipid.

The Dynamic Membrane
● Cell membranes contain embedded proteins, which serve to ________________________ ___________________________ and _______________________________________________.
● Membranes are in constant motion. This fluidity helps membrane proteins function by allowing them to __________________ in response to ______________________________.
● This model of the membrane is referred to as the __________________________________.

Roles of Membrane Proteins
List the six general roles of membrane proteins (Remember the acronym: JET RAT)
Cholesterol in the Cell Membrane
Phospholipids are not the only type of lipid found in the cell membrane; cholesterol is also present. Explain the role of cholesterol in the cell membrane. _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ Glycoproteins & Glycolipids
- SCIENCE 10H - Name: ______________________
● In addition to proteins & cholesterol, molecules known as ______________________
and _______________________ are also found throughout the phospholipid bilayer.
● Glycoproteins are made of carbohydrate chains bonded to ________________________.
These molecules play an important role in ______________________________________.
● Glycolipids are made of carbohydrate chains bonded to __________________________.
These molecules often act as ________________________.
Transport Across Cell Membranes
Why are cell membranes considered to be “selectively permeable”? _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________
Passive Transport Movement of molecules down a concentration gradient without an input of energy from the cell is called passive transport.
