Q

Membrane functions:

A

1 Semi-permeable. Small uncharged or hydrophobic molecules pass through. Large polar molecules or ions cannot. H2O can pass through, can be assited by aquaporin channels.
2 Transporting solutes. Integral proteins can passage or actively transport or act as transport channels.
3 Flexibility for cell movement/divsion.
4 Responds to externalsignals via receptors.
5 Intercellular communication via surface carbohydrates conferring cell identity.
