Capitol Report: Iranâs Global Threat. This week, I voted to stop the dangerous deal the Obama Administration negotiated to lift sanctions on Iran. I voted to protect Americans from the global threat posed by a nuclear Iran, because this is not a Republican issue or Democrat issue; this is an American security issue.
Cell Membrane Structure. The cell membrane is primarily composed of a mix of proteins and lipids. Depending on the membraneâs location and role in the body, lipids can make up anywhere from 20 to 80 percent of the membrane, with the remainder being proteins.
Lists of functions of a cell membrane (= plasma membrane) can include various numbers of functions because particles can move across the membrane in several different ways, including diffusion via ion channels, active transport via membrane pumps, endocytosis (into the cell) and exocytosis (out of the cell). The cell membrane forms a barrier between the inside of the cell and the environment outside the cell-enclosing cytoplasm and any organelles within the cell, and enabling different chemical environments to exist on each side of the cell membrane.
