Document Summary

Membrane transport of small molecules and the electrical properties of membranes. Describe the permeability properties of the membrane. Protein-free lipid bilayers are highly impermeable to ions. Molecules using diffuse from high concentration to low concentration. The rate of diffusion in the membrane depends on the size of the molecule and how soluble it is. Small nonpolar molecules can diffuse easily into the membrane ex. Large molecules however can"t diffuse easily into the membrane ex. Small ions such as na+ and k+ cannot pass through. Large uncharged polar molecules such a glucose and sucrose can sometimes pass. There are two main classes of membrane transport proteins: transporters and. Membrane transport proteins: transfers important solutes across the membrane. Transporters (carriers): bind to specific solute and changes conformation to let it pass through the membrane. Active transport is mediated by transporters coupled to an energy source. Passive transport/facilitated diffusion: transport molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration.
