In this picture, we bent the bubble to represent this fact. ]]> 2018-09-05 17:38:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ewarren010602/lq09lpdusbgm/wish/278107300 ewarren010602 https://padlet.com/ewarren010602/lq09lpdusbgm/wish/278107859 If the cell membrane is ever damaged, then it has the ability to repair and connect itself back together. When we damaged the bubble by poking a hole in it, it also repair itself. ]]> 2018-09-05 17:39:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ewarren010602/lq09lpdusbgm/wish/278107859 ewarren010602 https://padlet.com/ewarren010602/lq09lpdusbgm/wish/278108449 This fact means that the cells have organelle that also have a membrane structure. We simulated this by blowing another bubble inside of a bigger bubble. ]]> 2018-09-05 17:40:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ewarren010602/lq09lpdusbgm/wish/278108449 ewarren010602 https://padlet.com/ewarren010602/lq09lpdusbgm/wish/278108968 Membrane proteins perform a variety of functions vital to the survival of cells. One example of this that we represented, was how transport proteins move molecules and ions across the cell membrane. ]]> 2018-09-05 17:40:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ewarren010602/lq09lpdusbgm/wish/278108968 ewarren010602 https://padlet.com/ewarren010602/lq09lpdusbgm/wish/278109380 A gap junction is a watertight seal between two adjacent animal cells, which prevents materials from leaking out of the cells, which is what we represented in this picture. ]]> 2018-09-05 17:41:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ewarren010602/lq09lpdusbgm/wish/278109380 ewarren010602 https://padlet.com/ewarren010602/lq09lpdusbgm/wish/278109609 Binary fission is an asexual reproductive process where one cell breaks into two different cells. We took one bubble and split it into two different bubbles, just like normal binary fission. ]]> 2018-09-05 17:41:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ewarren010602/lq09lpdusbgm/wish/278109609
