The document summarizes key concepts about membrane structure and function from Chapter 7 of Campbell Biology. It describes the fluid mosaic model of membrane structure, which states that membranes are made of a phospholipid bilayer with various proteins embedded within. Membranes are selectively permeable, allowing some substances to pass through via passive transport mechanisms like diffusion and osmosis. The movement of water molecules in particular is regulated by osmosis, causing cells to gain or lose water depending on the tonicity of their surroundings.
