Cell Membranes and Transport
Be prepared to discuss:
(a) The principal components of the plasma membrane and the fluid mosaic model. Factors affecting permeability of the membrane.
(b) Transport mechanisms: diffusion and factors affecting the rate of diffusion, osmosis and water potential, pinocytosis, facilitated diffusion, phagocytosis, secretion (exocytosis), active transport and influence of cyanide.
