The Cell Membrane Flashcards
Cell membrane aka
Plasma membrane
_ make up half the mass of some cell membranes
Proteins
Cell membrane is less than _ nanometers thick
10
Cell membrane also contains _ which strengthens and stabilizes cell
Cholesterol
Cholesterol also regulates _ in cell
Fluid levels
Cell wall also contains proteins, some embedded in it which allows
Large molecules in and out of cell
(Some proteins of which are attached to outer surface)
The water loving heads are made of
Phosphate
The hydrophobic tails are made of _
Lipids
_ transports substances in and out of cell
Protein channel
_ stabilizes cell membrane
Cholesterol molecule
Membrane studded with _ some of which extend full depth of membrane
Glycoprotein
Glycoproteins consist of a protein bound to a _
Carbohydrate chain
Carbohydrate chain (external) help _
Identify cell to other cells
Some proteins bind to molecules outside of cell, prompting _
Changes within cell
