-
selectively move a particular molecule from one side to the other.
-
What are the properties that we talked about?
-
Membranes are leaky, membranes are leaky because
-
they have channels, here's a leaky membrane here,
-
and membranes have active transport systems
-
that move selectively ions from one side to the other.
-
This is an example that shows how that works with sodium,
-
there are systems that work with all of the ions that we've talked about,
-
not in exactly the same way but with the same sorts of concepts.
-
I don't want to say too much about this diagram.
-
I just show it here so that you can look at it at your leisure
-
if that's what you would do with your leisure time.
