- Components
- Glycolipids
- Carbohydrates covalently bonded to lipids
- Carbohydrate part is above the bi layer in a watery environment
- Proteins
- Throughout the membrane
- Embedded in the bi layer in 2 ways
- On the surface only
- Receptors
- Span across the whole bi layer
- Carrier and channel proteins
- On the surface only
- Glycoproteins
- Carbohydrates attached to extrinsic proteins
- Phospholipids
- Hydrophyllic heads
- Forms a bi layer
- Hydrophobic tails
- Cholesterol
- Very hydrophobic
- Prevent water loss
- Within phospholipid bi layer
- Very hydrophobic
- Glycolipids
