The fluid mosaic model - Made up of a bilayer of phospholipid molecules with proteins and cholesterol scattered throughout, phosphpolipid bilayer - Chemically glycerol bonded to 2 fatty acids and a phosphate group, Hydrophilic - 'Water loving' molecules, Hydrophobic - 'Water hater' molecules, Channel proteins - Transports ions and water molecules quickly through the membrane, Protein Carriers - involved in active transport and facilitated diffusion across membrane, Glycoproteins - A protein with a carbohydrate attatched, Glycolipids - A phospholipid with a carbohydrate attatched, Cholesterol - A lipid embedded in the membrane, Active transport - Transporting substances from low to high concentrations against a concentration gradient, Simple diffusion - Movement of particles from a high to a low concentration, Facilitated diffusion - Allows large molecules that are too big to cross the membrane by other types of diffusion , Co-transport - Bring ions and molecules into cells together , Osmosis - The movement of water from a high to a low potential through a semi-permeable membrane,
