Cell Membrane Structure

Front

What describes the cell membrane?

Back

controls what enters and exits the cell

Front

Fluid mosaic model

Back

describes the 4 parts of the cell membrane that can move around

Front

4 parts of the cell membrane

Back

phospholipid bilayer, transport proteins, carbohydrates, and cholesterol

Front

What is the function of the transport and channel proteins of the cell membrane?

Back

allows large molecules to pass through the cell membrane

Front

What is the function of the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane?

Back

allows small, non-polar molecules to pass through the cell membrane

Front

What is the function of the carbohydrates of the cell membrane?

Back

identifies the cell and allow for cell-to-cell communication

Front

What is the function of the cholesterol of the cell membrane?

Back

stabilizes the fluidity of the cell membrane

Front

Identify the structure in the diagram: Phospholipid, Cholesterol, Triglyceride, Carbohydrate

Back

Phospholipid

Front

Which part of the phospholipid is the hydrophilic portion (likes water)?

Back

Glycerol

Front

Which part of the phospholipid is the hydrophobic portion (repels water)?

Back

Fatty acids
