  • Study Notes

    Biological Membranes

    • The Fluid Mosaic Model is a descriptive model for the structure and function of biological membranes, where the phospholipid bilayer is semi-fluid and has embedded proteins.
    • Biological membranes are primarily composed of phospholipids, proteins, and cholesterol.

    Membrane Transport

    • Membrane transport is the movement of molecules across the cell membrane, which is essential for cellular functions such as nutrient uptake, waste removal, and cell signaling.
    • There are two main types of membrane transport: passive transport (diffusion, osmosis) and active transport (carrier proteins, pumps).
