Document Summary

Function of proteins in cell membranes: antigens: membrane proteins may allow cellular identity, the cell will be recognized by the protein that is sticking out of the lipid bi-layer. It is highly specific (size or ion specific). Molecules only pass along concentration gradient so it does(cid:374)"t (cid:396)e(cid:395)ui(cid:396)e e(cid:374)e(cid:396)g(cid:455: active transport: use protein carriers in cell membrane. Continuous until the concentration gradient is eliminated factors that affect rate of net diffusion: area of plane of contact: greater area allows faster rate of diffusion. This increases the surface area, thus increasing the plane of contact between the ecf and icf: concentration gradient: larger concentration gradient with increase rate of diffusion. Pulmonary fibrosis can occur if alveoli in lungs become scarred and stiff, making it difficult for oxygen to pass through the blood: distance: diffusion is fast for short distances and slow as distances increases.
