- Biological membrane
- are "fluid mosaics"
- Mosaic part made of PROTEIN
- can be INTEGRAL
- which means EMBEDDED IN MEMBRANE
- can be PERIPHERAL
- which means NOT EMBEDDED IN MEMBRANE
- have functions such as ENZYMES
- promote chemical reactions that SYNTHESISE OR BREAK APART BIOLOGICAL MOLECULES
- have functions such as ADHESION
- which helps CELLS IN TISSUES STAY CONNECTED
- have functions such as TRANSPORT
- can be CHANNELS
- serve as PORES THROUGH WHICH SUBSTANCES CAN MOVE
- can be CARRIERS
- which function to MOVE SUBSTANCES INTO OT OUR OF THE CELL
- that function to REGULATE TRANSPORT OF MATERIALS INTO/OUT OF THE CELL
- can be CHANNELS
- have functions such as RECEPTORS
- which bing to specific molecules found outside the cell and TRIGGER CHANGES IN THE CELL
- often these are GLYCOPROTEINS
- which are PROTEINS WITH AN ATTACHED OLIGIOSACCHARIDE
- can be INTEGRAL
- fluid part is made of PHOSPHOLIPID
- made of two TAILS
- made of FATTY ACID
- attached to GLYCEROL
- is composed of PHOSPHATE
- that is HYDROPHILIC
- which means "WATER LOVING"
- that is HYDROPHILIC
- is composed of PHOSPHATE
- which is a chain of carbon and hydrogen's called a HYDROCARBON
- can be SATURATED
- which means there're NO DOUBLE BONDS
- which leads to DECREASED FLUIDITY
- which means there're NO DOUBLE BONDS
- can be UNSATURATED
- which means there're DOUBLE BONDS
- which leads to INCREASED FLUIDITY
- which means there're DOUBLE BONDS
- can be SATURATED
- attached to GLYCEROL
- that are HYDROPHOBIC
- which means "WATER FEARING"
- made of FATTY ACID
- made of a HEAD
- is composed of PHOSPHATE
- that is HYDROPHILIC
- which means "WATER LOVING"
- that is HYDROPHILIC
- is composed of PHOSPHATE
- made of two TAILS
- Mosaic part made of PROTEIN
- also contains CHOLESTEROL
- which MODULATES FLUIDITY
- arranged in a BILAYER
- are "fluid mosaics"
