Halloween Transport

Halloween Transport
By Stuart Yochem, Lindsey Bernstein, and Wesley Jacobs
The phospholipids bilayer is composed of a hydrophilic phosphate head and a hydrophobic fatty-acid tail. The bilayer acts as a compartmental boundary in the cell. Integral proteins are embedded in the cell according to the Fluid Mosaic Model. These integral proteins influence the transport of materials within the cell and are semi-permeable in order to maintain homeostasis. There are three different types of transport: Passive, Facilitated, and Active. Passive Transport requires no energy and integral proteins are not involved. In facilitated transport no energy is used, and the integral proteins facilitate movement of substances across the membrane. Active transport does require energy, and integral proteins pump molecules across the concentration gradient from regions of low solute concentration to regions of high solute concentration.

brilliant and scary. are you sure wesley jacobs worked on this and not wes craven???!!! ooooohohhhhhhhhhhooooooooooo!

ps candy corn on its own is scary enuf without bringing in phospholipids!!

ooooooohhooooooooooohhhoooooo
