IN MY OPINION THIS WAS THE HARDEST ONE TO DO,ANYWAYS WE HAD TO SLIDE A THIN STRAND OF WHITE THREAD ACROSS THE BUBBLE FRAME (THE WHITE THREAD HAD TO BE PREVIOUSLY DIPPED IN SOAP) SO IT WON'T POP.

MEMBRANE PROTEINS CAN ALSO DRIFT ACROSS THE LIPID BILAYER.

# data[].attributes.body
WE HAD TO PLACE THE FRAME INTO THE BUBBLE SOLUTION TO GET A BUBBLE WHICH SHOULD BE THE “CELL MEMBRANE” AND THEN STICK A STRAW THROUGH IT WITHOUT THE BUBBLE POOPING.

THIS CONCEPT PROVED THAT CELL MEMBRANES HAVE THE ABILITY TO REPLACE AND REPAIR.

# data[].attributes.body
THE BUBBLES ARE THE CELL MEMBRANES AND I THINK IT SHOWS HOW FLEXIBLE THEY ARE.

WE DIPPED THE STRAWS AND THREAD INTO THE SOAP AND THEN IT MADE A “FAKE CELL MEMBRANE”.

THE CELL MEMBRANE ALLOWS THINGS TO GO IN AND GO OUT. 'PHAGOCYTOSIS' IS AN EXAMPLE OF CELL EATING.

# data[].attributes.body
WE HAD TO BLOW A BUBBLE INSIDE ANOTHER BUBBLE

EUKARYOTIC CELLS FEATURE MEMBRANE BOUND ORAGNELLS THAT CREATE SPECIALIZED COMPARTMENTS WITHIN A SINGLE CELL.

THE PRIAMRY STRUCTURE OF THE OUTER CELL MEMBRANE AS WELL AS THE MEMBRANES THAT ENCLOSE ORGANELLES IS A DOULBE LAYERS OF PHOSPHOLIPIDS KNOW AS A PHOSPHOLIPID BILAYER.

AN EXAMPLE IS A PLASMA MEMBRANE BECAUSE IT ACTS AS A PROTECTOR AROUND ENDOPLASMIC SYSTEM

THE STRING IN THE MIDDLE HAD TO MAKE IT SEPARATE (THE BUBBLES)

IN THE BINARY FISSION, BACTERIAL CELLS DIVIDE WHEN A THIN RING OF PROTEINS LOCATED AT THE CELLS MIDPOINT CONTRACTS, EFFECTIVELY CLEAVING THE CELL IN 2.

1. Core concept explicitly outlined.                                   Gap Junctions Aid Transport Between Animal Cells
Gap junctions form between neighboring animal cells, allowing their cytoplasm to connect directly.
This provides a quick way to move material between two cells.
The following steps that took place in the procedure are....
step 1. Place the tip of a clean straw into the bubble solution in the tray.
step 2. Gently blow on the other end of the straw to create a bubble.
Step 3. Lift the straw out of the liquid and continue to blow air into the bubble.
step 4. Continue to gently blow air into the bubble as you slowly pull out the straw.
step 5. As the tip of the straw leaves the bubble, you should be able to briefly observe a small
tunnel existing between the bubble and straw tip.
step 6. This tunnel is allowing air to freely move between the straw and the bubble without breaking
the bubble film.
In the same manner, gap junctions allow for the rapid transit of ions and small molecules
between adjacent animal cell membranes.

2. Picture of your group performing the experiment that models the core concept.

(unfortunately my group and me couldn't retrieve this image from our photo gallery)

3. Explanation of why this characteristic of the cell membrane is important for the cells functionality.
Gap junctions aid transport between animal cells.
Gap junctions are important in the cell membrane because they connect cells together so that  molecules  may pass from one cell to the other. This allows cell-to-cell communication, and enable molecules to directly enter neighboring cells without having to go through extracellular fluid surrounding the cell.

4. A real life example of the cell using this characteristic.

A real life example of Gap junctions are Desmosomes. Desmosomes join together cells.  It is a cell structure specialized for cell-to-cell adhesion.
REFLECTIVE OVERVIEW OF EXPERIMENT

This experiment went very well, it extended pupil's knowledge based on  Gap junctions. It specified an explanatory lesson as to what is the importance of Gap Junctions.
In the last step of this experiment, the  tunnel allowed air to freely move between the straw and the bubble without breaking
the bubble film. In the same manner, this related to Gap Junctions because gap junctions allow the transfer of necessities to be sent from cell-to-cell. Gap Junction is like a telegraph for cells.

The following steps that occurred during this experiment are....
1. Place the tip of a clean straw into the bubble solution in the tray.
2. Gently blow on the other end of the straw to create a bubble.
3. Lift the straw out of the liquid and continue to blow air into the bubble.
4. Increase the size of the bubble until it is about 6” wide.
5. Hold a piece of thread that is twice as long as the bubble and slide it underneath the bubble.
6. Lift the thread up through the bubble and the bubble should split into two.

1.  Why is  Binary fission important for the cell functionality, you ask?

Well, here is the answer.

Binary Fission is the occurrence of cell division. For unicellular organisms cell division is the only method used to produce new individuals.  In both prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells, the outcome of cell reproduction is a pair of daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells.

2. A real life example of the cell using this characteristic.

An example is Mitosis. Mitosis  is the process of nuclear division, which occurs just prior to cell division, or cytokineses.

1. Core concept explicitly outlined.

Some specialized proteins embed within the lipid bilayer, giving the membrane unique properties.
Channel proteins are one example. They form a passageway for large or electrically charged molecules
to pass through the membrane.

1. Picture of your group performing the experiment that models the core concept.(*picture shown above*)

2. Explanation of why this characteristic of the cell membrane is important for the cells functionality.

Membrane proteins are important for transporting substances across the cell membrane. They can also function as enzymes to speed up chemical reaction within the cell.

1. A real life example of the cell using this characteristic.

Golgi Apparatus performs the delivery of proteins to the necessary organelles. Proteins are use for nutrients and to receive useful energy to operate well.

# data[].attributes.body
The reason why Eukaryotic cells are important is because they withhold a true nucleus, which means the cell's DNA is surrounded by a membrane. Therefore, the nucleus houses  the cell's DNA and directs the synthesis of proteins and ribosomes,  the cellular organelles are responsible for protein synthesis.

1. Cell membranes are selectively permeable.  What kind of molecules are about to go through the cell membrane without the aid of proteins? why?

Small non-polar molecules are will go through through the cell membrane without the aid of proteins. Small non-polar molecules can pass though the cell membrane because they diffuse across it in response to concentration gradients.

2. What are the function of transport proteins and why are they essential to life?

Transport proteins functions as a tunnel across the membrane into a cell. In cells, some molecules can move down their concentration gradients by crossing the lipid portion of the membrane directly, while others must pass through membrane proteins in a process
called facilitated diffusion. Transport proteins enables the cell to receive proteins.  Proteins are essential to life because the human body uses proteins to build and repair tissues. Proteins are also used by the human body to make proteins. Proteins transport molecules such as oxygen and transmit messages from cell-to-cell.

3. Peripheral proteins are located on the outside or inside of the cell membrane, what is their function?

peripheral membrane proteins, are a group of biologically active molecules formed from amino acids which interact with the surface of the lipid bi-layer of cell membranes. Unlike integral membrane proteins, peripheral proteins do not enter into the hydrophobic space within the cell membrane.
4. Why is its beneficial for animal cells to have gap junctions, more so than plant cells?
Gap junctions are channels between adjacent cells and enable cells to communicate.

5.The membrane bound organelles within our cells make up the Endomembrane system.  List all of the organelles that make up this system, and explain why having membrane bound organelles within our cells is so important.
In Eukaryotas the organelles of the Endomembrane system include: the Nuclear membrane, the Endoplasmic Reticulum, the Golgi Apparatus, Lysosomes, Vesicles, Endosomes, and Plasma (cell) Membrane.

Reason why membrane bound organelles within our cells is so important.....
Cells have many structures inside of them called organelles . These organelles are like the organs in a human and they help the cell stay alive. Each organelle has it's own specific function to help the cell survive.

3. Explanation of why this characteristic of the cell membrane is important for the cells functionality.
Attraction between phospholipids allows cell membranes to repair small breaks in the bilayer. Like the bubble layer, cell membranes can spontaneously repair small tears in the lipid bilayer.

4. A real life example of the cell using this characteristic.

The nucleus is the brain of the cell and the cell membrane is the protector of the cell. They both share very important roles of the cell
