Cell Membrane Flashcards

1
Q

Cell membrane

A

Perméable, as some small molecules diffuse through cell membrane, some substances dissolve in lipid layer. Some also pass through special proteins.

Q

Phospholipids

A

Head-hydrophilic
Tail-hydrophotbic.

Heads are towards water, centre dosent allow water soluble to come through

Q

Cholestérol

A

Fit between phopsholids, binds to tail, so less fluidity, more rigid.
Low temp-not close=more fluidity 1
