Cell Membrane: The semi-permeable membrane that surrounds a cell's cytoplasm.
Pump Protein
I'm ready!
Cholesterol
Channel Protein
Are you ready to go to the cell membrane?
Phospholipid
Only water can pass through the channel protein in osmosis.Hypertonic: Having a high conc. of a solute Cells in plants and animals wilt.High conc. hypotonic: a solvent Plant and animal life may be extinguished.Equal conc. Isotonic: Plant wilts and the life of animals
Here are some info.
OMG WOW1
This is the cell membrane!
Coooool!
We've entered one of the channel proteins. Molecules are the bubble-like objects you see floating about. Molecules can enter the cell through the channel protein. This is an illustration of aided dissemination.
Phospholipids are what these are. They take part in passive transportation. Endocytosis occurs when phospholipids create a vesicle to enable molecules to enter, and exocytosis occurs when phospholipids form a vesicle to allow molecules to exit.
This is a concentration gradient diagram. A high conc. may be seen to the left. and a low conc to the right. To allow molecules in, the cell membrane employs many forms of diffusion. Because it requires ATP, a pump protein is an example of active transport. It is also selectively permeable, which means it can pick which molecules to allow in.
