Cells generally have
Plasma membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm (cytosol, organelles, inclusions)
What one cell type best represents the theoretical cell?
Liver hepatocytes
There are over ____ different types of cells

What is the plasmalemma?
Plasma membrane
A plasma membrane can be observed with?
Electron microscope ( too thin for a light microscope)
What describes a phospholipid bilayer with associated integral and peripheral proteins?
Plasma membrane
What is the structural model of the plasma membrane?
The fluid mosaic model
What type of membrane provides the cell with cell movement, growth, division, and self-sealing if torn or puncture?
A fluid membrane (plasma membrane)
How do membrane lipids affect the movement of materials across the membrane?
By allowing passage of many lipid-soluble substances but providing a barrier to charged or polar substances
I order from greatest to least, what does the lipid bilayer membrane consist of?
Phospholipids (75%), Cholesterol (20%), and Glycolipids (5%)
The bilayer occurs because lipids are_____
amphipathic (having polar and non-polar )
Inside the lipid bilayer, what mediates membrane fluidity?
Cholesterol
What makes the lipid bilayer less fluid (stronger) at normal body temperatures and increases membrane fluidity at lower temperatures?
Cholesterol
