Lesson 3: Plasma Membrane Structure & Permeability
Duration of Days: 3
Lesson Objective
Describe the structural arrangement of components within the Fluid Mosaic Model, explaining how the amphipathic properties of phospholipids and embedded proteins dictate membrane organization.
How do the chemical properties of amino acid R-groups differ between the regions of a protein embedded inside the membrane core versus the regions exposed to the cytoplasm?
How would a sudden decrease in environmental temperature alter the movement of molecules across a cell membrane that lacks cholesterol?
2.3- Plasma Membranes
2.4- Membrane Permeability
The cell membrane is a dynamic, fluid mosaic framework that selectively regulates transport.
