Document Summary

A cell is the basic, living, structural and functional unit of the body. Cell biology is the scientific study of cellular structure and function. There are many parts to the cell- plasma membrane, cytoplasm and the nucleus. Integral proteins extend into or through the lipid bilayer, peripheral proteins associate with the membrane lipids or integral proteins at the inner or outer surface of the membrane. Many integral proteins are glycoproteins with sugar groups attached to the ends that face the extracellular fluid. The membrane is semi permeable, only allowing certain things to cross. It is permeable to most non polar uncharged molecules, but channels and transporters allow other molecules to pass through. Diffusion: molecules moving from a level of high concentration to low concentration- passive process. Osmosis: water moving from a level of high concentration to a level of low concentration- passive process. Facilitated diffusion: the molecule binds to a transporter to cross the membrane- active process.
