lipid bilayer
(fluid mosaic diagram.) The exposed head is hydrophilic and the internal layer is hydrophobic.
channel proteins
found in the membrane are used for active transport or facilitated diffusion of substances eg. Insulin.
it depends on the concentration gradient and concentration outside the cell that determines which use
carrier proteins
found in membrane are used for facilitated diffusion. It transports the molecule in and out of the cell
pump protein
pump something (usually ions) from areas of low concentration to higher concentration
