Biology
Objective: I can describe the structure and function of the cell membrane
Homework: HW33 is due next class!
Iodine is a very small molecule that dissolves easily in water. It is sometimes put on cuts to kill any
bacteria that might get into the cut. In science, iodine is used as an indicator for starch (an indicator
is something that changes color in the presence of a specific substance). Iodine turns purple-black in
the presence of starch.
Iodine
Water is a very small polar molecule. Water is the universal solvent, because it can dissolve a wide
variety of substances.

Prediction if Bag
is Permeable To
Everything
Prediction in Bag
is Only Permeable
to Water + Iodine
Final
Observations
Conclusion
Was the bag selectively permeable? How do you know? If so, what did it allow to pass / what did it not
allow to pass?
Notes:
___________ cells have a cell membrane!
The cell membrane has many different names:
1) ________________________________________________

4. Identify: Label the head and tail of the phospholipid below. Label which part is polar, and which
part is nonpolar. Label which part is hydrophilic and which part is hydrophobic.
