What is Functions and Mechanisms of Cell Membrane about?
The cell membrane, or plasma membrane, is a thin barrier that surrounds living cells, serving to keep cell contents in and unwanted substances out while allowing essential nutrients to enter and waste to exit. It is composed of phospholipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and cholesterol, and facilitates transport through passive and active mechanisms, including diffusion and osmosis. Transport can occur via specialized proteins or through bulk transport processes like exocytosis and endocytosis.
