(photo description) The diagram provides a cut-view drawing of a phospholipid bilayer. The membrane structure appears as two rows of circles separated by pairs of lines emanating from each circle toward the other row. Peripheral membrane proteins are on either the cell exterior or interior, without crossing the membrane. Integral membrane proteins span the entire membrane, from interior to exterior. A vertical dark area represents a channel in one of the membrane proteins.
