Ch. 5: The Working Cell     I.   Membrane Structure and Function            A. Membranes are Fluid Mosaics of Lipids and Proteins with many Functions                     1. A membrane’s structure is made of diverse protein molecules suspended                         in a fluid phospholipid bilayer                    2. Selective Permeability­ allows some substances to cross more easily                         than others             B. The Spontaneous Formation of Membranes was a Critical Step in the Origin of                 Life                    1. Phospholipids could spontaneously self­assemble into simple membranes                    2. A membrane can enclose a solution that is different in composition from                          it
