1
Q
How can the membrane structure be described
A
Fluid mosaic model
Lipid bilayer
2
Q
What is the lipid bilayer made of
A
Hydrophilic heads
Hydrophobic tails
Proteins
3
Q
What are the three type of movements the bilayer membrane have
A
Flexión
Rotation
Lateral diffusion
4
Q
What does fluidity depend on
A
Length of the tails
Short tails are more fluid
Longer stricter movement
5
Q
What are the advantages of the lipid bilayer Being asymmetrical
A
> Converts signals of extra cellular signals to intracellular signals
6
Q
What is the function of glycolipids
A
Protect membrane
Altering electric field
Cell recognition
