Ch. 2 Disscussion Questions

As most of you know, in chapter 2 of the Nano Game, Aerin spends some time trying to get inside of the cell. Please post answers to two of the three questions about the game and two of the three questions about the function of the cell membrane.
Game
1. Why do Aerin and LOR need to use a transport protein?
2. Why do Aerin and LOR need to find ATP?
3. Why do Aerin and LOR need to make a glucose molecule?
Cell Membrane Functions
1. The cell membrane is a selective barrier. Explain what that means?
2. How does a transport protein work?
3. Why is glucose important to the cell? What is a glucose molecule made of?

BONUS: What are proteins? Name some kinds of proteins in the game and describe what they do. There are five proteins in chapter 2!
