1)Fluid mosaic model is the cell membrane that is made of the phospholipid bilayer cholesterol

and protein glycoprotein. Phospholipid bilayer consisting phosphate head, which is the
hydrophilic head (love water) and the fatty acid tail this hydrophobic(hates water). Cholesterol is
found in animal cell membrane and function to improve stability. Protein maybe either integral or
peripheral Integral proteins are nestled into the phospholipid bilayer and stick out on
either end. Integral proteins are helpful for transporting larger molecules like glucose
across the cell membrane. Glycoprotein is carbohydrates attached to the protein outward-
facing surface of the membrane.

2)Diffusion- the movement of the particles from a region of high concentration to a


region of low concentration until equilibrium is reached.

Facilitated Diffusion- is the passive movement of molecules or ions across a plasma


membrane by means of a transport protein loathed in the plasma membrane.

Osmosis-is the movement of water molecules from a region of high water concentration
to a low water concentration.

Active Transport- is the process of transferring substances into and between cells using
energy.

Endocytosis-is the process of capturing a substance or particle from outside the cell by
engulfing it with the cell membrane and bring it to the cell.

Exocytosis-the process of vesicles fusing with the plasma membrane and releasing their
contents to the outside of cells.
