cell membrane Flashcards
1
Q
lipid bilayer
A
(fluid mosaic diagram.) The exposed head is hydrophilic and the internal layer is hydrophobic.
2
Q
channel proteins
A
found in the membrane are used for active transport or facilitated diffusion of substances eg. Insulin.
it depends on the concentration gradient and concentration outside the cell that determines which use
3
Q
carrier proteins
A
found in membrane are used for facilitated diffusion. It transports the molecule in and out of the cell
4
Q
pump protein
A
pump something (usually ions) from areas of low concentration to higher concentration
