Document Summary
Having both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions, as in a phospholipid or detergent molecule. Pigmented protein found i abundance in he plasma membrane of the salt-loving archaeon. Short, rigid lipid molecule present in large amounts in the plasma membrane of animal cells, Halobacterium halobium; pumps protons out of the cell in response to light. Glycocalyx where it makes the lipid bilayer less flexible. Protective layer of carbs on the outside surface of the plasma membrane formed by the sugar residues of membrane glycoproteins, proteoglycans, and glycolipids. Thin pair of closely juxtaposed sheets, composed mainly of phospholipid molecules, that forms the structural basis for all cell membranes. Functionally and structurally specialized region in the membrane of a cell or organelle; typically characterized by the presence of specific proteins. Phosphatidylcholine common phospholipid present in abundance in most cell membranes; uses choline attached to a. A protein associated with the lipid bilayer of a cell membrane phosphate as its head group.
