Resource summary
Transport across membranes
Cell Membrane
Made of phospholipid bi-layer and other proteins
The bi-layer allos lipid soluble molecules to pass through by simple diffusion but prevents the passage of small polar ions
selectively permeable membrane
Fluid-mosaic model
The lipid bi-layer gives fluidity and elasticity to the cell membrane.
Cholesterol in the cell membrane
Decreases permeability and increases stability of the membrane
Different type of cells have different amounts of cholesterol
Carrier proteins
Aid the transport of ions/polar molecules and large molecules (facilitated diffusion and active transport)
Enzymes can also be found embedded on the membrane
Glycoprotiens
Composed of carbohydrate and protiens, are on the outer surface of the membrane are important in cell recoginition and sometimes act as antigens
Aquaporins
Aids the movement of water across the membrane
