Key Concepts
-
Membranes are made of phospholipids, proteins, cholesterol, and carbohydrates.
-
The fluid mosaic model explains membrane flexibility.
-
Membranes regulate cellular transport and communication.
-
Transport includes passive, active, and bulk mechanisms.
Examples & Applications
Passive Transport: Oxygen diffusing into red blood cells.
Active Transport: Sodium-potassium pump in nerve cells.
Endocytosis: White blood cell engulfing a pathogen.
