What compound is responsible for special functions of cell membranes?

The compound that composes most of the cell membrane in most animal cell is called...phospholipid. This molecule works by being amphipathic, it has a polar end and a nonpolar end. This allows two layers of this molecule to for the phospholipid bilayer, with the nonpolar tails excluded from the water and turned inward and the polar heads turned outward into the solution.

What do the chloroplast do in photosynthesis?
The chloroplast is where photosynthesis occurs. There are structures inside the chloroplast called thylakoids. These thylakoids are membranes with special proteins on them that carry out the light reactions of photosynthesis. These membranes are stacked (these stacks are called grana) in order to increase their surface area for the light reactions. The light reactions are responsible for producing NADPH and ATP which will be used for the Calvin cycle. Between the membranes of the chloroplasts and the thylakoid membrane lies the stroma. Here is where the Calvin cycle takes place. It is responsible for producing glucose from a series of chemical reactions. Essentially, the chloroplast is responsible for carrying out photosynthesis which converts light energy into usable chemical energy for most life on Earth.

Is osmosis a form of diffusion?
Yes. Osmosis is a special case of diffusion - in involves just water diffusing across a semipermeable membranes - like in cell membranes.
