Document Summary

Fluid mosaic model phospholipids move around like a liquid, mosaic made up of many different things. The membrane is non-polar: anything polar cannot pass through the membrane. Small or non-polar molecules can freely diffuse across the membrane. Large or polar molecules need carrier proteins to move across membrane.

Sodium and potassium (k+ and na+) basically control resting membrane potential of all cells: always much more sodium outside the cell than inside, always much more potassium inside the cell than outside. Driving force 3 types: difference in energy across a membrane. + environment inside the cell repel + charges: all negative membrane potential more negative inside the cell than outside. Chemical force wants sodium to go into the cell, but electrical force wants sodium to leave the cell.
