8. The ‘Fluid Mosaic Model’ of cell membranes, Singer & Nicholson

9. Making a model of the ‘Fluid Mosaic Model’!  You will be provided with a range of materials to help you construct a large physical model of ‘The Fluid Mosaic Model of Membranes’  Your model should contain the key structures present in a cell membrane  You will be expected to present your model and explain the functions of ALL of the key structures  You have the remainder of this lesson and only one more for preparation, so will have to work on this outside of lessons (i.e. HOMEWORK!!)

12. Key definitions  Cell signalling: cells communicate with one another by signals. Many molecules act as signals –some signal during processes taking place inside cells; others signal from one cell to others. Cytokines are an example of cell signals.

13. Chemicals & receptor effects  Insulin  Medical drugs such as anti histamines/ beta blockers (high blood pressure), L dopa (schizophrenia) etc  Botox (botulism toxin!)  HIV entry into cells

14. Membrane transport  Links to GCSE  Diffusion  Osmosis
