Question
Chapter 4.7, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The effect of impermeability of plant cell wall or the animal extracellular matrix on the cell function.
Introduction:
Extracellular matrix (ECM) is a collection of molecules secreted by cells that provide biochemical and structural support to neighboring cells. The extracellular matrix of animals includes basement membrane and interstitial matrix. The cell wall is a layer that surrounds cells, present outside the cell membrane. The function of the cell wall is to provide protection and support.

Think about the Arctic flounder that lives in cold Arctic waters and the Arabian camel that lives in hot deserts.
How might these Arctic flounder and Arabian camel modify the lipid composition of their cellular membranes to withstand their respective environments? Also, how would these modifications relate to the transition temperature of the lipid bilayer?
And how could such adaptations affect the function of proteins within the membrane and the overall performance of the cell?
1) Why can cell membranes be polar? What does polar mean?
2) What are the basic cytoskeletal components of a cell? What does an animal cell have that no other cell has in the cytoskeleton?
10(a) Draw or explain the structure of the plasma membrane,
10(b) explain how the plasma membrane is able to be selectively permeable
10(c) How do small, lipid-based molecules move through the membrane?
10(d) How do large or polar molecules move through the membrane?

- In the fluid mosaic model: plasma membrane proteins orient their hydrophilic sides toward the internal bilayer. phospholipids often flip-flop between the inner and outer layers. the mosaic refers to proteins attached to the underlying cytoskeleton. the fluid refers to the phospholipid bilayer. the mosaic refers to the symmetry of the internal membrane proteins and sterols.arrow_forwardQ1: In what ways is the plasma membrane a barrier, and in what ways is it a gatekeeper? Q2: Why can’t ions (such as Na+) cross the plasma membrane without the help of a transport protein? Q3: If no energy were available to the cell, what forms of transport would not be able to occur? What forms of transport could occur?arrow_forward-Mature parent cell Budding- cell 1 μη Test II. Examine the micrograph of the yeast cells. The scale bar under the photo is labeled 1 um. The scale bar works in the same way as a scale on a map, where, for example, 1 inch equals 1 mile. In this case the bar represents one thousandth of a millimeter. Using the scale bar as a basic unit, determine the diameter of the mature parent cell and the new cell. Start by measuring the scale bar and the diameter of each cell. The units you use are irrelevant, but working in millimeters is convenient. Divide each diameter by the length of the scale bar and then multiply by the scale bar's length value to give you the diameter in micrometers.arrow_forward
