What is the structure of the cell membrane?
What is the structure of the cell membrane?
A phospholipid molecule has a hydrophilic head (water-attracting) and two hydrophobic tails (water-repelling). The heads face outward towards water (cytoplasm and extracellular space), while the tails face inward, creating a barrier that controls what enters and leaves the cell.
What are integral proteins?
What are integral proteins?
Proteins embedded in the cell membrane can act as channels or transporters to move molecules across the membrane. These proteins are called integral proteins.
What are peripheral proteins?
What are peripheral proteins?
Proteins loosely attached to the inner or outer surface of the membrane are called peripheral proteins. They play crucial roles in signaling, cell recognition, and maintaining the cell's shape.
