The fluid mosaic model is a concept that describes the structure of the cell membrane as a fluid-like mosaic of various molecules, including phospholipids, proteins, and carbohydrates.
What is a Channel?
The first of two Integral proteins.
> Span the whole membrane
> Moves molecules by facilitating diffusion
What is a career?
> Moves molecules by active transport
What is Phospholipid?
The main barrier to large and charged molecule
What is Cholesterol?
Regulates fluidity of the membrane. More packing, less fluidity.
What is Glycoprotein?
Involved with cell signaling can act as a specific receptor to signaling molecules. Can act as antigens in cell recognition.
What is a Glycolipid?
Involved with cell recognition. They act as antigens.
