| 1. | Structure of Biological Membranes
... ’ Membranes act as barriers. ... The biological membrane controls the movement of substances into and out of a cell. ... Membranes also separate the different organelles from each other.
Components of Membranes:
The cell membrane must contain lipids, to allow fat-soluble materials to mov...

| 2. | Membranes
... Cell membranes (also called plasma membranes) can distinguish different substances, slowing or inhibiting the movement of some while allowing others to pass through. Because not all substances penetrate the membrane equally well, cell membranes are said to be selectively permeable (or differen...

| 4. | Cells transport substances across their membranes Choose thee of the following four types of cellular transport
Cells and organelles transport substances across their membranes. Cellular membranes are fluid mosaics of lipids and proteins. ... Substances cross the biological membranes to enter or leave cells and organelles through passive and active processes. ... Passive transport does not require ener...

... The nucleus houses most of the genetic material of the cell, DNA (there is some too in the mitochondria and plastids). Unless the cell is divided, the DNA is long and stringy and is not highly folded. ...
The endoplasmic reticulum is made of many folded membranes throughout the cell. ... ...

| 6. | Describe how the structure of lipids proteins and carbohydrates are related to their functions
Lipids
Lipids are fats and oils, which are important sources of energy in the human diet. ... Lipids are also important in the structure of cell membranes.
There are two main groups of lipids – the triglycerides (better known as fats and oils) and the phospholipids.

| 9. | Compare prokaryotes and eukaryotes Which is most primitive and why
... Prokaryotes comprise bacteria and blue green algae and eukaryotes include green plants (also other algae), fungi, slime moulds and animals. Eukaryotes first appeared approximately 3,000 million years ago and evolved from prokaryotes. ... Cells of prokaryotes lack true nuclei, therefore there ...

| 10. | Explanations of abnormality have become increasingly dominated by the biological model Give a brief account of
The dominant model used for defining abnormality is the biological model (where mental disorders are regarded as illness).
There are four different explanations for abnormality using the Biological model. ... This this study fails to take enviromental factors into account (are you more likely to go...

| 11. | Cell Membrane
The cell membrane structure-Fluid mosaic model
The cell membrane separates a watery cytoplasm from a watery external environment also known as ECF. ... The term “fluid” is used because the phospholipid molecules and proteins that make up the membrane are free to drift around in fluid motion. ......

| 12. | Nature or Nurture The Cultural and Biological Factors Driving Human Mate Choice
... What motivates mate choice in humans? ...
The aim of this essay is to explore the influences that biological and cultural factors exert when humans choose to mate. It will commence with an examination of the biological component of human mating behaviour. The evolutionary theories that a...

| 13. | osmosis
Introduction: Osmosis is the movement of water through a semi permeable membrane, separating solutions of different concentrations. ...
Many cell membranes behave as semi permeable membranes, and osmosis is a vital mechanism in the transport of fluids in living organisms, for example, i...
|
| 14. | Transport Processes Which Occur Across Cell Membranes
During the course of this essay I shall discuss and describe some of the different transport processes which occur across cell membranes. I will concentrate on these specific types of transport mechanisms, these are, passive transport (simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis) and active tr...

Membrane structure
The thin barrier that separates the internal components of a cell from the extra cellular materials and external environment is the plasma membrane, cell membrane or plasma lemma. The plasma membrane is the gate-keeper that regulates passage of substances into and out of the c...
