Cell Membranes
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| These proteins allow for the construction and attachment of the cytoskeleton, which maintains the cell ship and also helps with cell division | Structural Proteins |
| These are positioned in a way that helps substances get through the membrane by channeling or carrying the substance across also known as facilitated diffusion | Transport Proteins |
| Help facilitate chemical reactions in the membrance. Important in chloroplast and mitochondrial membranes | Enzymatic Proteins |
| These proteins allow for outside molecules such as neurotransmitter or hormones to trigger a response in the cell. These proteins change shape when the external substance attaches to it. This new shape may also change the ability of substances to enter th | Receptor Proteins |
| Our cells have special proteins that are our own These proteins can detect invading cells that don't match our proteins. These proteins are also known as antigens | Marker Proteins |
| These molecules help stabilize the membrane-if the membrane has too many unsaturated fatty acid tails making the membrane too fluid this will help loosen it up. If the membrane contains too many saturated lipids and gets to hard this will help loose it up | Cholesterol |
