For Monday, September 29th

Hi everyone!

Over the weekend, read the beginning of Chapter 5 (pgs. 95-101). The focus is the composition of the cell membrane in great detail and information about how scientists were able to determine the composition. Spend time on Figure 5-6 on page 99. You should be able to sketch the membrane and explain the functions of each component of the membrane (phospholipids, cholesterol, peripheral proteins, integral proteins, glycolipids). Answer the four review questions on page 101. TO BE CHECKED IN CLASS!
