Cell Membrane Bubble Lab

In Experiment 4, we concluded that...

• The cell membrane CANNOT incorporate things into the cell.

• The cell membrane can split

• The cell membrane can become rigid and hardened

• The cell membrane can merge and communicate between cells

In Experiment 5, we concluded that...

• Some things can move into the cell; they all require energy to enter.

• Nothing can move into the cell.

• Some things require a protein channel to enter the cell

• All things are allowed in the cell
