This activity will help you remember the functions of select cellular structures. Choose 5 or more cellular structures and write an analogy about how those structures function together in an everyday system. The analogous system should be something you already know (e.g., football organization, factory, etc.). Be sure to use only one every day system that incorporates all 5+ cellular structures (and not a different, unrelated system for each structure). Be sure to: Include 5 or more cellular structures Relating all the cellular structures to a single everyday system Accurately representing the analogous functions of the cellular structures Be creative and unique
Structure and Composition of Cell Membrane
Despite differences in structure and function, all living cells in multicellular organisms are surrounded by a cell membrane. Just like the outer layer of the skin separates the body from its environment similarly, the cell membrane, also known as 'plasma membrane,' separates the inner content from its exterior environment.
Cell Membrane
The cell membrane is known by different names like plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane, or biological membrane. The term "cell membrane" was first introduced by C. Nageli and C. Cramer in the year 1855. Later on, in 1931, the term "plasmalemma" for cell membrane was given by J. Plowe. The cell membrane separates the cell's internal environment from the extracellular space. This separation allows the protection of cells from their environment.
Prokaryotes vs Eukaryotes
The cell is defined as the basic structural and functional unit of life. The cell membrane bounds it. It is capable of independent existence.
