Download Cell Membrane

Cell Membrane
- allows materials in or out of the cell
Consists of:
1) Lipid Bilayer- 2 layers of fat tissue
2) Proteins- embedded into membrane
- help move materials across
Cell Membranes are:
Selectively Permeable- controls what materials are
allowed to cross.

Cell Membrane Processes
Diffusion
- movement of materials from high to low
concentration
- diffusion requires no energy
- continues until equilibrium is reached
Osmosis
- the diffusion of water
* Water moves across when materials can’t
Osmosis Continued:
- cells may shrink or burst due to osmosis
Facilitated Diffusion
- use of proteins in the membrane that aid
diffusion
* Does not require energy!*
Active Transport
- using energy to move materials across the
cell membrane.
- used to fight natural diffusion
