|
Definition
plasma membrane
cytoplasm
nucleus |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
membrane structure that depicts the plasma membrane as an exceedingly thin structure composed of a double layer or bilayer of lipid molecule with protein molecules "plugged into" or dispersed in it |

"tail"; two fatty acid chains;water fear |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
lipids with attached sugar groups; found on outer plasma membrane surface and account for 5% of the total membrane lipid |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
firmly inserted into the lipid bilayer |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
attached loosely only to integral proteins and are easily removed without disrupting the membrane. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
clings to the cells surface is enriched both by glycolipids and by glycoproteins secreted by the cell |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
series of integral protein molecules in the plasma membranes of adjacent cells fuse together, forming an impermeable junction that encricles the cell; helps prevent molecules from passing through the extracellular space between adjacent cells |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
"binding bodies"; mechanical couplings scattered like revets along the sides of abutting cells that prevent their separation |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
"bond"; communcating junction between adjacent cells |
|
|
Term
selectively permeable barrier |
|
Definition
allows some substances to pass while excluding others. it allows nutrients to enter the cell but keeps many undesirable substances out |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
substances cross the membrane without any energy input from the cell |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
the cell provides the metabolic energy (ATP) needed to move substances across the membrane |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
requires carrier proteins that combine specifically and reversibly with the transported substances |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
fluids containing large particles and macromolecules are transported across cellular membranes inside membranous sacs called VESICLES. |
|

Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
is the process in which ions are moved across cell membranes against electrochemical gradients using energy supplied directly by ATP |
