Cell Membrane Bubble Lab - : Student Analysis

The document summarizes a student's analysis of a bubble lab experiment that modeled properties of cell membranes. The lab investigated 6 cell concepts: 1) Membranes are fluid and flexible, 2) Membranes can self-repair, 3) Membranes bound organelles, 4) Membrane proteins, 5) Gap junctions aid transport between animal cells, and 6) Many bacteria cells reproduce through binary fission. For each concept, the student explained the concept and how the soap bubble demonstration modeled the membrane property.

Cell Membrane Bubble Lab - Student Analysis


In this lab, soap bubbles were used to model several properties that are characteristic of cellular
membranes. Below is a chart listing each of the “Cell Concepts” investigated in the Cell Membrane
Bubble Lab. Complete the following steps for each cell concept from the lab.

1. Describe the cell concept, as you understand it, in your own words.

2. Describe how the soap bubble was used to model the cell concept.

Cell Concept 1 – Membranes are Fluid and Flexible

1. Cell membranes are not firm but flexible that they can bend and flex to adapt to the changing conditio

2. The bubble film doesn’t break but flex when it's bounced up and down.

Cell Concept 2 – Membranes Can Self-Repair

1. The cell membrane can repair the breaks in its bilayer because the phospholipids are attracted to eac

2. Bubble can also be spontaneously recovered when the straw covered with bubble solution was entere
the bubble and removed.

Cell Concept 3 – Membrane Bound Organelles

1. In the eukaryotic cells, the cell membrane is characterized by a phospholipid bilayer as found in the o
membrane. The main structure of the outer cell membrane, as well as the membrane surrounding the
is the bilayer of phospholipids known as the phospholipid bilayer.

2. The small bubble layer inside the large bubble layer represents the bilayer.

Cell Concept 4 – Membrane Proteins

1. Specialized proteins such as channel protein with lipid bilayer provide specific properties for membran

2. The membrane proteins can drift across the lipid bilayer like the pencil can drift across bubble layer.

Cell Concept 5 – Gap Junctions Aid Transport Between Animal Cells

1. The cytoskeleton to connect neighboring animal cells directly is because of the gap junction. It provide
way to transport materials and molecules.

2. The tunnel made between bubble layer and the straw shows this cell concept

Cell Concept 6 – Many Bacteria Cells Reproduce Through Binary Fission

1. Some unicellular bacteria reproduce by dividing it into two and it is called binary fission.

2. In Binary Fission, the protein ring located in the midpoint of the cell can easily divide the cell into two,
thread at the middle can easily divide a bubble to two.
