What important role does glycolipids and glycoproteins play? They help in cellular identification
What is a channel protein? A protein that forms a channel to allow a particular molecule or ion to cross the plasma membrane.

What are cell recognition proteins? Glycoproteins that help the body recognize when it is being invaded by pathogens, so that an immune response can occur. (fingerprint)
What are receptor cells? Proteins located in the plasma membrane or within the cell that have a shape that allows only specific molecules to bind to it. The binding of this molecule causes the protein to change its shape and thereby bring about a cellular response. (KEY)

Explain why phospholipids play such an important role in the structure of the cell membrane Phospholipids have both a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic en, form a bilayer that can be used by the cell to create compartments which allows many different chemical processes to function at the same time within the cell.
Describe the role of proteins in the fluid-mosaic model Proteins are embedded with membranes creating a mosaic. These proteins influence membrane function.
compare how cells transport polar and nonpolar molecules across the membrane. Membrane pores are hydrophobic due to the fatty acid tails of phospholipids. Hydrophobic substances can freely move across the membrane. In contrast, hydrophilic substances require transport mediated by membrane proteins.

A specific form of pinocytosis (but much more selective and efficient) that uses a receptor protein to recognize compatible molecules and take them into the cell. Receptor-mediated endocytosis
Compare facilitated transport with active transport Both require a carrier protein, but active transport also requires energy.
Explain why active transport requires energy. Active transport requires energy because molecules are moved against a concentration gradient
Summarize why a cell would use bulk transport rather than active transport Bulk transport is used to transport large molecules across plasma membranes. The molecules are contained in vesicles and do not mix with the surroundings.
