Membranes regulate the traffic of molecules

Objective: 1. Students will be able to distinguish between osmosis and diffusion, as well as give examples of each process. 2. Students will be able to identify the three methods for things to enter/exit the cell (active transport, passive transport, exo/endocytosis).

The plan:
complete reading quiz
finish membrane protein function notes
fill in guided notes on osmosis and diffusion
review

Homework:
Make Flash Cards for the 17 following words/concepts:

1. Phospholipid Bilayer
2. hydrophobic
3. hydrophilic
4. Components of a cell membrane (phospholipid bilayer, proteins, carbohydrates)
5. Four functions of membrane proteins (enzyme activity, cell-cell recognition, cell signaling, transport of materials)
6. Diffusion
7. Osmosis
8. Equilibrium
9. Passive Transport
10. Facilitated Diffusion
11. Hypertonic Solution
12. Isotonic Solution
13. Hypotonic Solution
14. Active Transport
15. Vesicle
16. Exocytosis
17. Endocytosis
