Bio Chem -- Cells (Membranes, Transport, Organelles)

Question 1

cell membrane basic components

Answer 1

phospholipid bilayer: (forms spontaneously: hydrophobic tails face inward to avoid aqueous environment)
proteins:
surface
peripheral (not embedded)
integral (embedded in membrane and extending out of both sides of membrane; globular or alpha-helix)
glycoprotein (carbohydrate portion projecting into aqueous environment, either within cell or without cell)
transport: protein channel
fats:
cholesterol (alongside hydrophobic tails)
glycolipids (like phospholipid, but with carbohydrate instead of phophate)
