Summary Introduction
To determine:
The large organelle that surrounds the second membrane.
Introduction:
Organelles are one of the important adaptations that eukaryotic cells have made to balance for the larger surface to volume ratio. It is the region of the cell that separates the cytosol from cell functioning.

What would be the effect of this change in environment on the cell? O 1) It would shrivel because it would lose water. O 2) It would shrivel because it is responding to a hypotonic environment. O 3) It would swell because it is experiencing a hypertonic environment. O 4) It would swell because it would gain water.

- As an environmental engineer, you will follow the scientific method and start your work by generating a hypothesis first. Formulate a hypothesis on how bacterial cells use their characteristics to take up hydrocarbons from oil spills. Specify the mode of transport through the cell membrane (active vs. passive/endocytosis vs. exocytosis) and support your claim with scientific reasoning. Describe how these bacterial cells would take up hydrocarbons if: they only possessed a cell membrane and lacked the cell wall. they possessed membrane-bound organelles such as vesicles. Include in your answer the lipid bilayer, structural components of cell membranes and those of cell walls, and discuss the selective permeability characteristic of membranes.arrow_forwardConsider a cell membrane. In order to survive, the cell must move nutrients across the membrane and it must move waste products out of the membrane. Describe the strategies available to the cell for the transport of materials. Describe these strategies. Indicate what happens when equilibrium is reached for each strategy.arrow_forwardIf I placed pieces of beetroot in a test tube and the test tube was placed in hot water, making the test tube water pink, how could i provide evidence on why the membrane is semi permeable?arrow_forward
