Plasmalemma
Membrane proteins may catalyze what two types of enzymatic reactions?
External Reaction, Internal Reaction
What is the name of the molecule that binds to cell surface receptors?
Ligands
What are two examples of receptor/ligand binding?
hormones, cell recognition molecule
How are channel proteins different from carrier proteins?
Channel proteins open crates of water filled passage way
Carrier portions bind to substrate only open to one side of the membrane.
Channel proteins are often called what?
Nuclear pores
What is the limitation of channel proteins?
allows passage of certain molecules less selective
What is the limitation of carrier proteins?
slower transport more specific
Carrier proteins may be open to both sides of the membrane at the same time T/F?
F
Membrane carbohydrates form what part of the cell?
external glycocaylx
Membrane carbohydrates are used for what functions?
cell recognition, cell stability, and immune response
Membrane proteins are usually composed of what two molecules?
glycolipids , glycoproteins
