Kristin Peters, the Kristin Peters, the BioengineerBioengineer What does Kristin Peters do?
As a team discuss about bioengineering and the roles of bioengineers.
Many bioengineers , instead of creating new devices or materials, focus on learning just how that living tissue work. UCSD senior Lisa Serventi (pictured left) works in a lab studying the fluid that lubricates joints, figuring out how different molecules in the fluid help to lower friction.

to keep his frog’s skin moist?
When Juan Daniel sees the waterfall, what does he realize about his design?
Why can’t Juan just fill the bowl with water and leave it covered?
As a team define the word “membrane” and discuss how membranes help organisms meet their basic needs.
A membrane is a structure that….

Definition Definition
A membrane is a structure that organizes and maintains cells as separate and distinct molecular environments.
MembraneMembrane
All cells are surrounded by a cell membrane!
MembraneMembraneEpithelial tissue covers all
external surfaces, internal cavities, and organs
What are the functions of epithelial tissue?◦Protection◦Absorption◦Secretion
Membrane ModelsMembrane ModelsSimple Epithelium vs. Stratified

Single layer (frog skin) Multiple layers (human skin)
Guiding question: What are some properties of natural membranes and what materials might be good choices for designing a model membrane?
Part I:Raisin demonstrationEgg demonstrationIodine-cornstarch demonstration
Lesson III: Exploring Lesson III: Exploring MembranesMembranes
Raisin DemonstrationObserving:a)Dried raisinsb)Raisins that have been submerged in water
for 24 hoursc) Raisins that have been submerged in a
mixture of sand and water for 24 hoursd)Raisins that have been submerged in water
for 3 hours
Documenting:Individually complete the “Exploring Membranes: Raisin
Skin” worksheet
Lesson III: Exploring Lesson III: Exploring MembranesMembranes
Raisin Demonstration Raisin Demonstration What are your observations of
the soaked raisins?Why do the raisins swell when
soaked in water?◦ Raisin skin acts as a membrane and
allows water to pass through.How does the water travel across
the raisin membrane?
All cell membranes share a common structural organization:
Bilayers of phospholipidsHydrophilic head
Hydrophobic tail
The fluid mosaic model by S. J. Singer and G. L. Nicolson (1972).
Membrane StructureMembrane Structure
Membrane LipidsMembrane LipidsMembrane Lipids are the building
blocks of the membrane, they provide the basic structure.
Lipids include fat and cholesterol and do not dissolve in water.
A phospholipid is a lipid that contains phosphorus.
The lipid composition of different cell membranes varies! In addition to the phospolipids, animal cell membranes contain glycolipids and cholesterol.
Passive Transport-Passive Transport-DiffusionDiffusionDiffusion is the process by which
molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
DiffusionDiffusionPassive Diffusion: A molecule
simply dissolves in the phospholipid bilayer. Direction to transport is determined by the concentrations (number of molecules per unit volume) of the molecule inside and outside. Ex: gases such as oxygen
More on Raisin More on Raisin DemonstrationDemonstrationWhat will happen when you put a
raisin in pure water for 48 hours?What will happen when you put a
fresh grape in salt water?◦ Membranes have holes that are too
small to see!◦ The high concentration of sugar
molecules inside the raisin creates a concentration gradient. Water flows inside when the raisin in placed in water.
◦ Membranes control the rate at which things pass through
Osmosis with EggOsmosis with Egg
Step 1: Obtain two eggs and two beakersStep 2: Pour vinegar into each beaker and add one egg to
each beaker of vinegar - leave them overnight.Step 3: Remove the eggs and rinse with water and weigh
each egg.Step 4: Pour distilled water into the Egg #1 beaker and
pour corn syrup into the Egg # 2 beakerStep 5: After 24 hours, observe each egg and measure the
mass of each egg.
What is the purpose of step 2? What do you think Egg #1 will look like at step 5? Why? What do you think Egg #2 will look like at step 5? Why? What will be the relative masses of the eggs at step 5?
Osmosis-The diffusion of the Osmosis-The diffusion of the water!water!Osmosis is the movement of
water across the membrane. Although water molecules are
polar, they are small enough to pass the membrane!

More water Fewer dissolved substances
Less waterMore dissolved substances
Only certain molecules can pass through the membrane since it is semipermeable. Small uncharged molecules can diffuse freely through lipid barriers. The bilayer is impermeable to large molecules (e.g., glucose, ions)
The Cell Membrane is The Cell Membrane is SemipermeableSemipermeable
Osmosis with EggOsmosis with EggWhat we have learned:An egg is a large single cell
surrounded by membranes that lie just inside the shell.
The egg membrane behaves the same as the raisin membrane◦An egg in distilled water will gain
water by osmosis (diffusion)◦An egg in corn syrup will lose water
by osmosis (diffusion) and thus mass and circumference!
What happens when iodine and cornstarch mix?
Iodine plus cornstarch is blue in color
What do you think you will observe after six hours? Explain your prediction.
Lesson III:Lesson III:Iodine – Cornstarch DemoIodine – Cornstarch Demo
Fill cup 1 with cornstarch and then fill a baggie with a mixture of water and a few drops of iodine. Place the bag into cup 1 and wait 6 hours.
Fill cup 2 with a mixture of water and iodine and then fill a baggie with a mixture of water and a tablespoon of cornstarch. Place the bag into cup 2 and wait 6 hours.

The cell membrane controls materials going into and out of the cell.
Membrane Proteins carry out specific functions.
Some of the proteins control the movement of the materials into and out of the cell.
Membrane ProteinsMembrane Proteins
Facilitated Diffusion: A molecule is carried by carrier or channel proteins via a concentration gradient. Ex: carbohydrates, amino acids.
Channel proteins form open pores Carrier proteins selectively bind the
molecules
Membrane ProteinsMembrane Proteins
Passive Transport: The movement of particles across a cell membrane without the use of energy by the cell is called passive transport.
Active Transport: A process of transporting particles that requires the cell to use energy is called active transport.
Transport Across Cell Transport Across Cell Membranes Membranes
If molecules are transported in an energetically unfavorable direction across membranes this process is called active transport.

Iodine/starch Iodine/starch DemonstrationDemonstration
What we have learned:•Membranes are semi-permeable – they have small holes and molecules pass through them based on size (and charge).
•The cornstarch cannot pass through the holes in the dialysis tube since it is a big molecule. Iodine is a small molecule relative to cornstarch easily pass through the membrane (dialysis tube)•Human engineered structures can behave like cell membranes
Part II:Testing the performance of several
model membrane materials (e.g., coffee filter, cheese cloth, felt, aluminum foil, etc.)
As a team discuss the following questions:1. What materials might be good choices to design a model
membrane?2. Group materials that can let water pass through at a slow
rate. What properties do these materials have in common?3. Group materials that can let water pass through at a fast
rate. What properties do these materials have in common?
As a team test your materials (pour ½ cup of water and wait 30 seconds to measure how much water has passed) and complete “The Testing Model Membrane Materials” worksheet
Lesson III: Exploring the Lesson III: Exploring the MembranesMembranes
Lesson IV: Lesson IV: Designing a Model Designing a Model MembraneMembraneWhat is a model?
◦A system that explains, describes, or represents another system
◦Contains elements, operations, and relations that allow for logical relationships to emerge
◦Sometimes not sufficient to completely describe the system it represents If it is a useful model, it closely
approximates the system in a manner that people can use when working with the system without being unnecessarily complex
Guiding question: How can we design a model membrane based on what we have learned in this unit?
Part I: Planning, making model membranes, and testing. Use the engineering design cycle!!!
You have been hired by an engineering team to help Juan Daniel design a model membrane to protect his lucky frog while he plays fútbol.
1) As a team plan your model membrane!◦ A successful model membrane design should…◦ How much water do you think should pass
through your membrane? 2) Test your model! 3) Collect data 24 hours after you complete
Part I.
Lesson IV: Lesson IV: Designing a Model Designing a Model MembraneMembrane
Goal of Design After 24 Goal of Design After 24 HoursHours
Part II: Checking initial membrane designs, measuring the water that passes through the membranes, revising model membranes
We won’t have time to really do this part. If you want to continue on, consider the following questions:
How much water passed through your design?
Do you think your design was successful? Why or why not?
How can you improve your design?

New ChallengeNew ChallengeYour frog also needs clean water.
Thus your membrane design should also be able to filter the contaminated water!
Time to redesign your membrane!
What have we learned about membranes?
As a team list five things that you have learned about the structure of a membrane and properties of a membrane.
Wrap-UpWrap-Up
Membranes consciously control what moves through them and what does not.
Model membranes are exactly the same as actual membranes.
If the holes in a membrane are invisible to the naked eye, nothing can pass through the membrane.
Skin is a membrane… in fact, story is wrong/EiE curriculum is misleading◦This is too much of a simplification
