    Cell membranes use proteins to control what enters and leaves cells through active and passive transport. The document discusses how cell membranes use membrane proteins to regulate interactions and transport of particles and molecules into and out of cells. It also explains the processes of diffusion and osmosis, where molecules like water move between areas of higher and lower concentration without and with the use of energy. The lab experiment uses potato and jelly to demonstrate osmosis, the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane, when the samples are placed in distilled water and salt water.

    Lap Introduction

    Cell membrane uses to protect and organize cells. All cells have an external plasma

    membrane that directs what enters the cell, as well as the amount of any given substance comes

    in. As Cooper (2000) stated, In addition, membrane proteins control the interactions between

    cells of multicellular organisms. Not very many particles enter or leave cells, or cross organel

    membrane, unaided by proteins. Indeed, even transport of particles, for example, water and urea,

    that can diffuse crosswise over pure phospholipid bilayers is much of the time quickened by

    transport proteins. Very few molecules enter or leave cells, or cross organel membranes, unaided

    by proteins. Even transport of molecules, such as water and urea, that can diffuse across pure

    phospholipid bilayers is frequently accelerated by transport proteins (Cooper GM., 2000). Active

    and passive transport are the processes that move oxygen, water and nutrients into cells and

    remove waste products (Kate T., Pooja S., Nikhilesh J., Javaria b., 2013). Active transport

    requires energy because it is the movement from areas of lower concentration to areas of higher

    concentration. Also, passive transport moves biochemical from areas of high concentration to

    regions of low concentration, so it doesn't require vitality. In basic dispersion, little non-charged

    atoms or lipid dissolvable particles go between the phospholipids to enter or leave the cell,

    moving from zones of high concentration to regions of low concentration. Diffusion is one

    aftereffect of the atoms development. Osmosis is one of the types of simple diffusion that water

    molecules diffuse through a specifically permeable membrane from zones of high water

    concentration to zones of lower water concentration.


    In this lab, potato and jelly used to represent the sample how osmosis works. Compared

    the mass and volume that measured before and after doing the experiment. According to the

    osmosis theory, this process started when the pieces of potato and jelly were in the beaker with

    distilled water and salt water. Therefore, the result of the experiment will show the process of

    osmosis.
