Lecture 10 - 12 Describe how the chemistry of phospholipids dictates the membrane architecture. Describe the fluid mosaic model of biomembranes and what controls fluidity. Provide examples for the asymmetry of biomembranes. Distinguish between diffusion and osmosis. Describe the various modes of transport across the membrane – simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion (channels and carriers), primary active transport (“ATP-dependent pumps”), secondary active transport (symporters and antip...
