83
<p>this is the</p>

this is the

fluid mosaic model

New cards
84

“float” in the membrane and contain special lipids to which proteins bind

New cards
85

example of special lipids in lipid rafts

sphingomyelin and cholesterol

New cards
86

sphingomyelin represents a

phospholipid who’s head sticks out and the non-polar tail embeds in the membrane

New cards
87

cholesterol represents a

smaller molecule who’s head is lower but is within the same polar region as the phospholipid head and embeds in the membrane

New cards
88

3 types of proteins in membranes

integral, anchored, peripheral

New cards
89

intergral membrane protein

fits through the bilayer, which is called transmembrane protein

New cards
90
