Ch 4 Flashcards
Phospholipid bilayer
Hydrophobic tails face inwards hydrophilic heads face surface
Fluid-mosaic model
Part of the membrane structure that makes it flexible and molecules move
Integral proteins
Embedded
Peripheral protein
Inner surface
Membrane structure
Fluid Mosaic model
Phospholipid bilayer
Proteins
Glycoproteins, glycolipids, cholesterol
Lipid molecules
Double layer proteins transport and move
Channel proteins
From channels substances can move across membrane anything that can fit will pass
Receptor proteins
Bind to substances and environment and trigger cell responses
Shaped in such a way that specific molecules combined
Carrier proteins
Transport a specific substance across the cell membrane
Enzymes
Catalyze chemical reactions for cell metabolism
Break molecules apart and join them together and cause chemical reactions
Cell recognition proteins
The MHC or major histocompatibility complex glycoproteins are different for each person
Cells with foreign MHC glycoproteins are attacked by blood cells responsible for immunity
Enzymatic proteins
Capitalize a specific reaction
Glycoprotein
Major histocompatibility complex Glycoproteins are different for each person
Carbon chains
Found an outer surface of the cell recognition protein
Form a sugarcoat glycocalyx or glycoproteins
Immune responses
What produces individual fingerprints
Diversity of carbohydrate chain
