The document discusses the structure and functions of the cell membrane. It describes how the phospholipid bilayer is semipermeable and contains integral and peripheral proteins that facilitate transport. There are three main types of membrane transport: passive diffusion, active transport using ATP, and vesicular transport using exocytosis and endocytosis. Passive diffusion includes simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion through channels and carriers, and osmosis. Active transport includes the sodium-potassium pump and secondary active transport via symporters and antiporters.
