In your post, respond to two of the following questions:
1. Why is it advantageous for the plasma membrane to be fluid in nature?
2. What are some functions of proteins in the membrane? Name the job of a specific protein in the membrane.
3. What kind of macromolecule is cholesterol, and what is the role of cholesterol in the membrane?
4. What are 3 ways that a substance or molecule can get across the plasma membrane?
5. How do the chemical properties of phospholipids allow for a semipermeable membrane?

4. 3 ways a substance or molecule can get across the plasma membrane are through osmosis, diffusion and active transport. ]]> 2023-09-11 15:54:45 UTC https://padlet.com/coletteleblanc/7dlx22fl1kmeoep1/wish/2697706459 9936297 https://padlet.com/coletteleblanc/7dlx22fl1kmeoep1/wish/2698256567 1) With the plasma membrane being fluid in nature, the cell has an easier time when it comes to substances and other products entering and leaving the cell. If the plasma membrane was solid, there would be less opportunity to enter and exit the cell.
3) Cholesterol is within the lipid group. As a lipid, it allows for the cell to remain fluid and cater to the entering and exiting of the cell.]]> 2023-09-11 23:38:32 UTC https://padlet.com/coletteleblanc/7dlx22fl1kmeoep1/wish/2698256567 9937697 https://padlet.com/coletteleblanc/7dlx22fl1kmeoep1/wish/2700368654 1. It is advantageous for the plasma membrane to be fluid because it allows for a more easily adaptable shape and for easier allowance of substances to enter/exit. ]]> 2023-09-12 17:22:32 UTC https://padlet.com/coletteleblanc/7dlx22fl1kmeoep1/wish/2700368654 9937697 https://padlet.com/coletteleblanc/7dlx22fl1kmeoep1/wish/2700379861 2. Proteins in the membranes are meant for transporting molecules, permeability, and communicating with other cells. A specific protein in the membrane are carbohydrates like glycoproteins and glycolipids, which are for cell recognition, so other cells in the same body know they are the same!]]> 2023-09-12 17:29:59 UTC https://padlet.com/coletteleblanc/7dlx22fl1kmeoep1/wish/2700379861 9935128 https://padlet.com/coletteleblanc/7dlx22fl1kmeoep1/wish/2707901589 3. Cholesterol is a lipid. It plays the important role making sure the membrane is fluid.
1. It is advantageous for the membrane to be fluid so that its shape can adapt and change with the condition it may be put in. ]]> 2023-09-18 02:02:13 UTC https://padlet.com/coletteleblanc/7dlx22fl1kmeoep1/wish/2707901589
