Plasma Membrane and Fluid Dynamics
Student Notes Outline
Taking efficient notes can be a big challenge for many students, especially when working from a Powerpoint lecture. This outline gives students a means to take notes that guides them toward important concepts and avoids the pitfalls of writing word-for-word or simply not taking notes at all. The outline is written as a series of questions, fill-in-the-blanks, or diagrams.
Essential concepts: Plasma membrane, fluid dynamics, cell membrane, osmosis, diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport, hypertonic, hypotonic, isotonic, tonicity, phospholipid bilayer, integral proteins, peripheral proteins, carbohydrate markers, cholesterol, fluid mosaic model, hydrophobic, hydrophilic, phagocytosis, pinocytosis.
