The plasma membrane, a flexible yet sturdy barrier that surrounds and contains the cytoplasm of a cell, is best described by using a structural model called the fluid mosaic model. According to this model, the molecular arrangement of the plasma […]
Normally, the osmotic pressure of the cytosol is the same as the osmotic pressure of the interstitial fluid outside cells. Because the osmotic pressure on both sides of the plasma membrane (which is selectively permeable) is the same, cell volume […]
In carrier mediated facilitated diffusion, a carrier (also called a trans porter) is used to move a solute down its concentration gradient across the plasma membrane. The solute binds to a specific carrier on one side of the membrane and […]
