Q & A
What is the model Viviana Castillo uses to represent a cell membrane in her demonstration?
-Viviana Castillo uses a bottle with a slow lipid bilayer to represent the cell membrane, with bottle caps for the phosphate heads and felts for the fatty acid tails.
How does Viviana explain the glycoproteins and glycolipids in the cell membrane model?
-Glycoproteins and glycolipids are not explicitly described in the transcript, but they are typically part of the cell membrane and could be represented by additional components attached to the model.
What does Viviana use to represent the integral and channel proteins in the cell membrane?
-Viviana uses a piece of a water bottle to represent the channel protein and implies that the integral protein might be part of the overall model without specifying a separate representation for it.
What materials are used to represent cholesterol and peripheral proteins in the cell membrane model?
-Cotton balls are used to represent cholesterol, and a little ball represents the peripheral protein in the model.
What is the first example of passive transport Viviana demonstrates, and how does it work?
-The first example of passive transport Viviana demonstrates is osmosis, which is the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through the phospholipid bilayer.
How does diffusion differ from osmosis according to Viviana's explanation?
-Diffusion, according to Viviana, involves the movement of molecules from high to low concentration but is limited to molecules other than water, unlike osmosis which is specific to water.
What is facilitated diffusion, and how does it relate to the molecules that cannot fit through the phospholipid bilayer?
-Facilitated diffusion is the movement of large molecules from high to low concentration, which cannot pass through the phospholipid bilayer on their own and require the use of channel proteins to cross the membrane.
What is active transport, and how does it differ from passive transport?
-Active transport moves molecules from low to high concentration and requires energy in the form of ATP. It differs from passive transport, which moves molecules down their concentration gradient without energy input.
How does Viviana represent ATP in her active transport example?
-Viviana represents ATP with a piece of a Jolly Rancher candy in her active transport demonstration.
What is endocytosis, and how does Viviana demonstrate it in her model?
-Endocytosis is the process where cells engulf large particles. Viviana demonstrates it by showing these particles moving through the cell membrane and into the cell.
What is the opposite process of endocytosis, and how is it demonstrated in the model?
-The opposite process of endocytosis is exocytosis, which is the discharge of materials from the cell. In the model, particles move out of the cell instead of entering it, demonstrating exocytosis.
Outlines
🌟 Cell Membrane Model Introduction
Viviana Castillo introduces her cell membrane model, which she uses to demonstrate various types of transport mechanisms. The model includes components like the phospholipid bilayer, glycoproteins, glycolipids, integral and channel proteins, cholesterol, and peripheral proteins. She uses everyday objects like bottle caps, felts, cotton balls, and a water bottle to represent these components, setting the stage for the examples of passive and active transports to be shown.
🌊 Passive Transport: Osmosis and Diffusion
This paragraph delves into passive transport, starting with osmosis, the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to one of low concentration through the phospholipid bilayer. The process is visually represented in the model. Next, diffusion is explained, which is similar to osmosis but involves the movement of molecules other than water. The key distinction between osmosis and diffusion is highlighted, emphasizing that osmosis is specific to water molecules.
🚶♂️ Facilitated Diffusion in Passive Transport
Facilitated diffusion is introduced as another form of passive transport, where larger molecules that cannot fit through the phospholipid bilayer are transported with the help of channel proteins. This process also moves molecules from high to low concentration but requires a specific channel for the molecules to pass through the cell membrane, illustrating the role of channel proteins in selective transport.
🔁 Active Transport Mechanisms
Active transport is explained as the movement of molecules from low to high concentration, which requires energy in the form of ATP. The model demonstrates how molecules enter the channel protein, which then closes at one end and opens at the other to release the molecule, using ATP for the energy needed. This process is crucial for the cell to move substances against their concentration gradient, ensuring the cell's needs are met despite environmental conditions.
🔄 Endocytosis and Exocytosis: Active Transport of Particles
The final part of the script covers endocytosis and exocytosis, two active transport processes involving large particles. Endocytosis is described as the cell engulfing large particles, bringing them into the cell through the cell membrane. Conversely, exocytosis is the process by which the cell discharges waste or large particles out of the cell. These processes are essential for the cell's interaction with its environment and maintaining homeostasis.

Transcripts
hi my name is Viviana Castillo and today
I will be showing you examples of
passive and active transports so right
here is I have my model which is my cell
membrane which is a but slow lipid
bilayer my bottle caps will be
representing my phosphate heads my fatty
acid tails will be represented by the
felts I have my glyco protein with my
glycolipids attached my next piece is my
integral protein right here I have my
channel protein which is represented by
a piece of a water bottle my cotton
balls will be representing cholesterol
as the screen little ball will be
representing my peripheral protein so my
first example are going to be showing is
passive transport and the first passive
transport is osmosis osmosis is the
transport of water from high to low
concentration so here I have my water
molecules and they will be moving from
high to low they will go through the
phospholipid bilayer and to the low
pressure now my next example will be
diffusion which is pretty much the same
thing it moves molecule from high to low
concentration the only difference
between osmosis and diffusion is that
diffusion only happens with molecules
other than water and as Moses is only
used with water my last passive
transport will be a facility the
ciliated diffusion there's also the
movement of Mahlon coach from high to
low but these molecules are too high to
fit through the phospholipid bilayer so
they use a channel protein to go through
the membrane so my next example will be
of active transport active transport
moves molecules from low to high
concentration so this requires an ATP
which will be represented by this piece
of jolly rancher so in order for this to
happen my molecule will enter my channel
protein it will be closed off in one end
and it will be pushed out the other and
the ATP hopes with this process my next
active transport will be endocytosis
which is when cells engulf large
particles so these particles will move
through the cell membrane and into the
cell and so the opposite of that would
be exocytosis where the cell discharges
weights so instead of going into the
cell all these particles will just move
out of the stuff and this concludes my
video thank you
