EFB325 Ch. 12 Study Guide: How do Molecules Pass Across the Membrane?
Small, nonpolar molecules can pass through plasma membrane - a known fact. But, how do large polar or ionic molecules pass? Proteins! Proteins that act as transporters helps to transport molecules that cannot normally pass alone. In this study guide, we will be covering the types of membrane transporters from symport to antiport, sodium potassium pump, glucose sodium pump, and the most confusing yet interesting neuron depolarization as well as a brief yet in depth run through the parts of a neuron.
