Membranes - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Small molecules of gas can flow through membrane and squeeze through the lipid bilayer
  - - - When water is in a sugar solution, the water molecules cluster around the sugar molecules in order to dissolve the sugar
        
        Represents the need for water to balance out the ratio of sugar molecules on both sides of the membrane
        
        Osmoregulation regulates the amount of the solution in the cell and is vital for the cell's health
  - - - Still requires no ATP
      - Can be a protein channel where the substance moves straight through
      - Can be a "pac-man" like shape wher the molecule enters the opening of a protein and once in the middle the other side opens
  - - - Movement from more concentrated to less concentrated
        
        Each substance reacts in it's own environment regardless of other substances, everything will go down their own concentration gradient
- - - - saturation of hydrocarbon tails
      - cholesterol within cell membranes
- - - - For example, an animal that in the cold has lots of unsaturated lipids in its bilayer so it is still fluid even if it moves slower
- - - - Hydrophilic channels
  - - - On the Cytoplasm side: bound to cytoskeleton
      - On the extracellular side: materials outside the cell
