2
New cards

what does cholestrol do to the phospholipid bilayer

make it stronger, they reduce lateral movement making it less fluid

3
New cards

what are the function of glycolipids

act as recognition sites, help maintain stability, help cells to attach to one another

4
New cards

what is the function of glycoproteins

act as recognition sites, help cells attach to one another, allow cells to recognise one another

5
New cards

why is the model called the fluid mosaic model

the membrande constantly changes shape so its fluid, and mosaic cause of the proteins embedded within
