1.1 Membrane Structure and Composition

Biological membranes are bilipid layers . In a real cell the membrane

Lipids

The lipids we'll be studying are phospholipids, the primary components of cellular membranes. Phospholipids are amphipathic; that is, they are both hydrophilic and hydrophobic. The "head" of a lipid moleule is negatively charged phosphate group and the two

else but transport ions across plasma membranes of nerve cells. How can

ions be transported across membranes that are effectively impermeable to

plasma membranes and extend from one side of the membrane through to
