My ‘skin’ separates my interior environment from the exterior environment. Exterior Interior My ‘skin’ will block out some things, but it will allow some things to pass through.
In addition, my ‘skin’ also allows me to… grow in size, change my shape and move myself around, with extension and contraction! My ‘skin’ is incredible!!!
What if I change the material of my ‘skin’ to something else? How about changing it to cloth, a more porous material? Cloth
Your challenge for the day! • Identify the functions of the cell membrane and explain their importance to the cell. • Examine how the structure of the cell membrane material allows it to perform its functions. • Examine how the cell ensures that essential molecules are able to pass through the cell membrane.
