Summary: Even though the cell membrane is a protective barrier, it also is important for letting some unknown material in. They come in through ion channels that are on the cells surface. The cell membrane is home to different protein.

Which components of the cell membrane are being discussed in the article? Phospholipids

What is the purpose of the process or component in the article. To help the channel function

List three things you learned from the article in your own words.
1.) The cell membrane is the outer part of the cell.
2.) It serves as a protective barrier.
3.) It is home of proteins.

What impact would the absence of this organelle/process have on the cell? Harmful materials can get in your cells
