Question

6. What does a channel protein do for our cell membranes?

7. Do the proteins stay still, or do they freely move around the membrane?
8. Write your own definition for binary fission using the observations from your lab?

Answer 1

6. Channel proteins span the membrane and make hydrophilic tunnels across it, allowing their target molecules to pass through by diffusion.

7. They move freely around the membrane.

8. Binary fission is the division of a single entity into two or more parts and the regeneration of those parts separate the entities resembling the original.
