assigned reading, you should understand the following:assigned reading, you should understand the following:
1.1. Membranes confine the contents of cells. Membranes confine the contents of cells.
2.2. Membranes provide the structural basis for metabolic order in Membranes provide the structural basis for metabolic order in organisms. They partition and compartmentalize functions, such organisms. They partition and compartmentalize functions, such as different enzyme systems. Membranes also form the physical as different enzyme systems. Membranes also form the physical matrix on which enzymes may be positioned.matrix on which enzymes may be positioned.
3.3. Membranes are Membranes are selectively permeableselectively permeable. Control of exchanges necessary to: 1) protect the cell's integrity; 2) maintain the conditions at which optimal metabolic activities take place; and 3) coordinate the activities of different cells in a multicellular association.

4.4. The main structural components of membranes are lipids, mainly The main structural components of membranes are lipids, mainly phospholipidsphospholipids containing a hydrophilic polar head region and a containing a hydrophilic polar head region and a hydrophobic non-polar tail region, that spontaneously form stable hydrophobic non-polar tail region, that spontaneously form stable bilayersbilayers..
5. Much of the selective permeability of membranes depends upon the proteins present.
6. The two mechanisms of crossing a membrane are: 1) passive transport (e.g., diffusion) or 2) active transport.

7. Membrane proteins may be peripheral proteins or integral proteins depending upon the degree of interaction with the membrane. Integral membrane proteins often span the thickness of the bilayer.
8. The model that best explains the organization of membranes is the fluid mosaic model.
