Cells and Cell Processes Notes • The main goal is to _______________________________________________ • ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ • Provides a _____________________ on which specific __________________________ can occur. • Site for _________________ containing specific ____________________________ markers that differentiate one cell from another. • ____________________________ from one another. • ______________________________ the inside of the cell. • The membrane doesn’t completely protect the cell because many substances that aren’t beneficial to the cell can still enter through _______________________. • Membranes allow cells to create and maintain internal environments that differ from external environments. • ______________________________________________________________ – Permeability depends on: 1. ___________________________________ 2. ___________________________________ 3. Charge (ions) 4. Presence of channels and transporters The cell membrane is often referred to as the “FLUID MOSAIC MODEL” • A membrane that is a fluid structure (can move easily), with a “mosaic” of various proteins and carbohydrates embedded in it. 18 Cells and Cell Processes Notes General Structure • • • • Phospholipids are made up of a ________________________________________________ and ____________________________________________________ The _________________________ makes up the ____________________ of the lipid bilayer and the _______________________ _______________make up the ___________________________. Proteins that extend through the entire membrane are called amphipathic; they have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions. Along the membrane, many ______________ and _________________ are attached to ____________________. Together they function in ______________________ and ______________________________.
