Document Summary

Fatty acid tails- fluidity depends on type of lipids present at lower temperatures, you can use unsaturated fatty acids to prevent solidification at higher temperature, you can use saturated fatty acids to resist increased movement by packing together. Bridge the cytoskeleton and ecm: help coordination internal and external cellular changes. E face= the side of the bilayer that faces the extracellular fluid. P face= the side that faces the inside of the cell. This means only certain molecules pass easily, (small molecules and is lipid soluble) Others need help to get through: any sort of large macromolecule, sugars, charged ions, proteins, (these needs escorted) Passive transport= no expenditure of energy required because molecules move down concentration gradient. Includes; diffusion: no input of cellular energy, depends on random movement of molecules. Move down concentration gradient osmosis: the diffusion of specifically water. No cellular energy, moving down the concentration gradient of water itself facilitated diffusion.
