Fluid Mosaic Model Flashcards
Glycoprotein [2]
• Helps with cell attachment
• Transfer signals from outside cells to the inside (like an antenna)
Glycolipid [1]
• Helps with cell attachment
Sugar molecules
it looks like this lmao
Features of phospholipid bilayer [2]
• Hydrophilic head
• Hydrophobic tail
Functions of phospholipid bilayer [2]
• Semipermeable membrane
(partly allows substances to move from high concentration to low concentration)
• Causes diffusion, such as osmosis (diffusion of water)
Peripheral protein [1]
• Takes signals sent from the outside of the cell and directs the signal to the inside of the cell
Cholesterol [1]
• Helps stabilise and strengthen the cell membrane
Integral protein [2]
• Proteins that are embedded in the membrane
• Helps with cell signalling or transport of materials across membrane
