Explore the intricate ways molecules move across lipid bilayers, including permeability, carrier proteins, and channel proteins. Understand the dynamics of passive and active transport driven by electrochemical gradients and membrane potential. Learn about conformational changes in carrier proteins and the mechanisms of carrier-mediated transport. Discover the role of ion channels in membrane potential changes and the propagation of action potentials.
