ST2 Flashcards
Protein with carbohydrate attached
Glycoprotein
Lipid with carbohydrate attached
Glycolipid
carries markers that allow cells to recognize one another and plays a vital role for tissue
and organ formation during early development, and
later in the “self” versus “non-self” distinction of the
immune response.
Plasma membrane
must be very flexible to allow
certain cells, such as red blood cells and white blood cells, to change shape as they pass through narrow capillaries.

lipid bilayer, with
their– facing the
water and their tails
pointing towards
the interior of the
membrane.
phosphate
heads
phospholipids are
arranged in a
structure called a
lipid bilayer,
molecules get absorbed or
dissolved in water
Hydrophilic
only dissolve in oil-based substances.
hydrophobic molecules
require facilitated diffusion,
Hydrophilic molecules
are suitable for passive diffusion in cellular activities.
hydrophobic molecules
are polar and ionic
Hydrophilic molecules
molecules are non-polar.
hydrophobic molecules
is a type of covalent bond where atoms share electrons unequally.
Polar
is a type of covalent bond where atoms share electrons equally
Nonpolar
occurs when substances cross the plasma membrane without any input of energy from the cell.
Passive transport
