|
Phospholipids |
Make up the phospholipid bilayer and move in fluid motion. |
Ex. Phospholipid Bilayer
The cell membrane is made up of phospholipids. |
|
|
Phospholipid Bilayer |
Two layers of phospholipids that give structure to the cell membrane. |
Ex. Cell Membrane
The cell membrane gets its structure from the phospholipid bilayer. |
|
|
Polarity |
Things that that do not like touching water; they are hydrophobic. |
Ex. Molecules that repel from water.
Polar molecules are hydrophobic. |
|
|
Transport Proteins |
Proteins that transport molecules that could not usually pass through the cell membrane. |
Ex. Proteins transporting polar molecules.
Polar molecules are transported by transport proteins. |
|
|
Selective Permiability |
Letting certain things come through the membrane while letting others not pass through. |
Ex. Letting in certain sugar molecules.
A cell membrane that lets in some things and keeps out others are selectively permiable. |
|
|
Glycoproteins/glycolipids |
Lipids and proteins with a sugar attached that receive signals. |
Ex. Proteins that receive signals.
Lipids/proteins that receive signals are called glycolipids/glycoproteins. |
