Cell surface or membrane is made of phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins and sugars. Cell membrane acts as a barrier between cell and its external environment but it is also responsible for the communication with other cells and transport of molecules inside and outside the cell. It is selectively permeable to ions and molecules (some of them pass through the membrane easily, while others require transport proteins or channels). There are 4 ways of molecule transport:

1. Diffusion – no energy required

2. Facilitated transport – transport proteins included

3. Active and co-transport – energy required

4. Vesicle transport (exocytosis and endocytosis)

Microvilli are extensions of cell membrane that increase its surface for diffusion.

Different types of cell junctions have a different influence on the membrane transport. For example, tight junctions are a barrier and the molecules are unable to pass through.

In autotrophic bacteria, chlorophyll is located in the infolded regions of the plasma membrane.

Autotrophic bacteria are those that can synthesize their own food. The energy can be derived either from sunlight or from chemical reactions. Only a few amount of bacteria are autotrophic. The examples of such bacteria are: green sulfur bacteria, purple sulfur bacteria, heliobacteria, etc.

Chlorophyll is the green colored pigment involved in the process of photosynthesis. The chlorophyll acts as a reaction center that absorbs the energy from sunlight to initiate the process of photosynthesis. The energy absorbed by other pigments is also transferred to the reaction center.
