Chapter 5: Membrane Structure and Function
1) Passive Transport
• Requires no energy
• Substances move down concentration gradients
A) Simple Diffusion
• Small molecules pass directly through the phospholipid bilayer

Protein forms a
B) Facilitated Diffusion hydrophilic passageway
• Molecules require assistance of transport proteins
• Channel Proteins (form pores; e.g., ion channels / water channels)
• Carrier Proteins (require shape change; e.g., glucose / amino acid carriers)

Osmosis in Action:
1) Passive Transport
2) Active Transport
• Requires energy (in the form of ATP…)
• Moves substances against concentration gradients (aka „pumps‟)

Cell Walls:
• Found in bacteria, plants, fungi, & some protists
• Composed of carbohydrates (e.g., cellulose / chitin), proteins,
or inorganic molecules (e.g., silica)
• Produced by the cell it protects/supports
