Chapter 5
Structure and Function of Plasma
Membranes
You should be able to:
1. Describe the evidence that revealed the structure of the
membrane.
2. Explain: selective permeability, amphipathic
molecules, aquaporins, diffusion, fluid mosaic
model, freeze-fracture, membrane fluidity, peripheral
and integral membrane proteins, glycolipids,
glycoproteins, concentration gradient, channel and
carrier proteins, osmosis, facilitated diffusion, and
active transport, osmoregulation, hypertonic,
hypotonic, and isotonic solutions, plasmolysis, ion
and gated channels, cotransport, exocytosis,
endocytosis.
