are "Fluid Mosaics"
"Mosaic" part is made of proteins
But also contains cholesterol
which MODULATES FLUIDITY
that can be PERIPHERAL
which means NOT EMBEDDED IN MEMBRANE
these have functions such as RECEPTORS
which bind to specific molecules found outside the cell and TRIGGER CHANGES IN THE CELL
these can have functions such as ADHESION
which helps CELLS IN TISSUES STAY CONNECTED
that can be INTEGRAL
which means EMBEDDED IN MEMBRANE
these have functions such as TRANSPORT
this includes CHANNELS
which serve as PORES THROUGH WHICH SUBSTANCES CAN MOVE
this includes CARRIERS
which work by BINDING SUBSTANCES AND MOVING ACROSS THE MEMBRANE
these have functions such as ENZYMES
which promote chemical reactions that SYNTHESIZE OR BREAK APART BIOLOGICAL MOLECULES
these have functions such as RECOGNITION
often these are GLYCOPROTEINS
which are PROTEINS WITH AN ATTACHED OLIGIOSACCHARIDE
which is a chain of carbon and hydrogens called a HYDROCARBON
which helps in IDENTIFICATION OF THE CELL TYPE
"Fluid" part is made of phospholipids
arranged in a BILAYER
made of a HEAD
that is composed of a PHOSPHATE
that is HYDROPHILIC
which means "WATER-LOVING"
made of two TAILS
that are HYDROPHOBIC
which means "WATER FEARING"
made of FATTY ACID
that can be UNSATURATED
which means there are DOUBLE BONDS
which leads to INCREASED FLUIDITY
that can be SATURATED
which means there are NO DOUBLE BONDS
which leads to DECREASED FLUIDITY
attached to GLYCEROL
that function to REGULATE TRANSPORT OF MATERIALS INTO/OUT OF THE CELL
