Master Biological Membranes fast ⚡ – clear explanations, supportive visuals, OCR-aligned.
You’ll cover
• The role of membranes in controlling movement of substances and enabling compartmentalisation.
• The fluid mosaic model and how phospholipids, proteins, cholesterol, glycoproteins and glycolipids contribute to membrane structure.
• Functions of membrane components, including transport, cell recognition, communication and maintaining electrochemical gradients.
• Factors affecting membrane permeability and fluidity, including temperature, cholesterol, solvents, pH and detergents.
What’s included
