What is Cell Membrane Structure and Functions about?
The cell membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins. It defines the boundary of the cell and controls what enters and exits. Passive transport mechanisms like diffusion and facilitated diffusion allow for the free movement of substances down concentration gradients through membrane proteins or lipid pores. Active transport requires ATP and pumps substances against a gradient, like the sodium-potassium pump. Endocytosis brings substances into the cell through vesicle formation whil
