1.3 Membrane Structure: Drawing the fluid-mosaic model (2016) IB Biology

Understanding that:

- Phospholipids form bilayers in water due to the amphipathic properties of phospholipid molecules
- Membrane proteins are diverse in terms f structure, position in the membrane and function
-Cholesterol is a component of animal cell membranes
- The membrane is fluid such that it allows materials to be taken into cells by endocytosis or released by exocytosis
-Vesicles, which are the same material as membranes, move materials within cells.
