Document Summary

All of the cellular contents between the plasma membrane and the nucleus. A large organelle with dna found inside it. Regulated the flow of materials into and out of a cell; allows communication between cells and their external environment. Organelles-found in the cytosol and each have a different function. Chromosomes found within the nucleus contain genes that control cellular structure and function. Structure of a membrane: lipid bilayer the main structure of the plasma membrane, two back to back layers made up of 3 different types of lipid molecules, phospholipids, glycolipids, cholesterol. Goes throughout the membrane: peripheral proteins : not as firmly embedded into the membrane and are attached to membrane lipids or integral proteins. Function of membrane proteins (put the words in the correct blanks) Molecule that binds to a receptor (receptor specific: carriers and transporters- integral proteins that selectively move a polar substance or ion from one side of the membrane to another.
