25 Proteins Are Critical to Membrane Function
The Plasma Membrane 4/15/2017 Proteins Are Critical to Membrane Function G. Podgorski, Biol. 1010

26 Types of Transport Proteins
The Plasma Membrane 4/15/2017 Types of Transport Proteins Channel proteins are embedded in the cell membrane & have a pore for materials to cross Carrier proteins can change shape to move material from one side of the membrane to the other G. Podgorski, Biol. 1010

27 Facilitated Diffusion
The Plasma Membrane 4/15/2017 Facilitated Diffusion Molecules will randomly move through the pores in Channel Proteins. G. Podgorski, Biol. 1010

28 Facilitated Diffusion
The Plasma Membrane 4/15/2017 Facilitated Diffusion Some Carrier proteins do not extend through the membrane. They bond and drag molecules through the lipid bilayer and release them on the opposite side. G. Podgorski, Biol. 1010

29 The Plasma Membrane 4/15/2017 Carrier Proteins Other carrier proteins change shape to move materials across the cell membrane G. Podgorski, Biol. 1010
