2 of 19
Are peripheral membrane proteins embedded?
no
3 of 19
What is glycolipid?
a carbohydrate-bound lipid
4 of 19
What do glycoproteins do?
enable cells to be recognized by other cells/proteins
5 of 19
What do tight junctions do?
link adjacent epithelial cells, restrict protein migration, prevent substances moving through intercellular space

What do gap junctions do?
facilitate communication between cells, made up of connexons
8 of 19
What are connexons?
span membranes of two adjacent cells, made of connexins
9 of 19
What do connexins do?
snap together to generate a pore
10 of 19
What is diffusion rate determined by?
temperature, size, charge and concentration gradient
11 of 19
What is active transport?
requires energy expenditure
12 of 19

cations
13 of 19
What is secondary active transport?
uses established gradients and uses ATP indirectly
14 of 19

cellular eating
15 of 19
What is pinocytosis?
cellular drinking

What is exocytosis?
materials secreted from cell
17 of 19
