You did a great job on reaching at this far end of this module! Let's wrap up this brilliant learning experience with another exciting activity. As you have gone through the lesson, most cells exist in an aqueous environment. Their cell membranes selectively obtain certain materials from this liquid environment for them to remain alive and prevent some harmful materials from entering. Also, their cell membranes expel out harmful substances, like the waste products of cellular activities, and prevent essential substances from leaving. But what do you think would happen to a cell if its cell membrane lost its selectivity? Make an illustration (with a title) that shows your response to this question.

At this point, go over your answers to the activit ies given earlier in this lesson before you fill out the table below. Table 20: Interdependence of Function and Fom in the Cell Membrane Which components of the cell membrane enable it to perform this function? Function of the Cell Membrane How do these components help the cell membrane in performing this function? iully control the passage of substances through its membrane. However, all activit ort, involve energy. This leads us to another characte As stated in the first section of this lesson, maintaining homeostasis requires ise this in powering
The movement of molecules in and out of a cell is essential to its function. The cell membrane regulates this movement though processes such as diffusion, osmosis, active transport, etc. These activities on the next couple pages are designed to assess your understanding of these processes. Scenario #3 Semi-permeable membrane Охудen Carbon Dioxide Lungs I Blood stream After studying the image above, select the statement(s) that would explain what is likely to happen. Choose ALL that apply. O The carbon dioxide molecules will move into the lungs until equalibrium is reached. O All the carbon dioxide molecules will move into the lungs to be exhaled. O All the oxygen molecules will move from the lungs into the blood stream. O The semipermeable membrane will prevent the movement of either molecule. O The oxygen molecules will move into the blood stream until equalibrium is reached.

The plasma membrane is an effective barrier to molecularmovement across it, yet many substances do enter and leave thecell. Explain the mechanisms through which this is accomplished.
In the plasma membrane, proteins carry out the following tasnks except ONE: 1. ALL other are carried out by proteins 2. catabolic reaction (digestion of complex molecules into simpler one) 3. gather information from surroundings/neighboring cells 4. shuttles molecules across the membrane 4. Binding to other cells via cytoskelleton

Xena eventually catches Callisto (remember, she is 25 years old). Salmoneus, who is 60 years old, agrees to deliver Callisto to face charges for war crimes. On the way, their cart crashes down a ravine. Salmoneus dies. When a cell dies its plasma membrane becomes “leaky”; i.e., it becomes permeable to ions that were unable to freely cross the membrane during life. Thus, after death, calcium ions leak across the sarcolemma of muscle fibers. This calcium leak causes rigor mortis, a temporary stiffness of the muscles after death. Apply your understanding of the mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction (specifically regarding events within muscle fibre) and explain the molecular basis of the phenomenon known as rigor mortis.
