Dictyostelium discoideum is Used in the Exploratory Experimental Teaching Research of “Cell Membrane Functional Protein” for Undergraduates
WANG Xiaoyan, JIANG Ruida, GAO Runchi*
In this study, the classical teaching experiment of Cell Biology “cell membrane permeability experiment” was redesigned. By comparing the experimental results of “membrane permeability” of rabbit erythrocyte and Dictyostelium discoideum cells, and combining with the teaching of the chapter “structure and function of cytoplasmic membrane” in Cell Biology, students were guided to preliminarily explore the role of AQPs (aquaporins) in cell anti-hypotonic environment. It could deepen the understanding of the significance of functional proteins in cytoplasmic membrane for cell survival.
