Cell Membranes Study Checklist At the end of this section you should be able to: B2.1 - Membranes & Membrane Transport Describe the formation of sheet-like bilayers in water by amphipathic lipids. Explain the reasons behind the selective permeability of the lipid bilayer. Discuss the movement of molecules by diffusion across the lipid bilayer. Identify integral and peripheral proteins. Discuss the role of aquaporins in transporting water. Describe the structure and role of channel proteins. Explain the importance of pump proteins in active transport. Explain the role of facilitated diffusion and active transport in the selective permeability of membranes. Describe glycoproteins and glycolipids with respect to their structure and function. Draw the fluid mosaic model of membrane structure. D2.3 - Water Potential Explain how water is able to dissolve many substances. Explain the movement of water from less concentrated to more concentrated solutions. Predict the net movement of water based on the environment of a cell. Outline the changes that occur to plant tissues bathed in hypotonic and hypertonic solutions. Explain the effects of water movement into and out of cells on cells that lack a cell wall. Explain the effects of water movement into and out of cells on cells that have a cell wall. Outline medical applications of isotonic solutions.
