    This document outlines the structure and function of cell membranes. It discusses the general structure of plasma membranes, including the lipid bilayer and embedded proteins. It describes three main types of transport across membranes: passive diffusion, facilitated transport, and active transport. Passive transport includes diffusion of small molecules and osmosis of water. Active transport uses membrane proteins like the sodium-potassium pump and mechanisms like exocytosis and endocytosis. The functions and processes of membrane transport are key to cellular homeostasis and function.
