|
Nonliving substance in which animal cells are imbedded; is composed of protein and ploysaccharides.
|
Extracellular Matrix (ECM)
|
|
|
Model for the plasma membrane based on the changing location and pattern of protein molecules in a fluid phospholipid bilayer.
|
Fluid-Mosaic Model
|
|
|
Lipid in plasma membranes that bears a carbohydrate chain attached to a hydrophobic tail.
|
Glycolipids
|
|
|
Protein in plasma membranes that bears a carbohydrate chain.
|
Glycoproteins
|
|
|
Protein that forms a channel to allow a particular molecule or ion to cross the plasma membrane.
|
Channel Protein
|
|
|
Use of a plasma membrane carrier protein to move a molecule or ion from a region of lower concentration to one of higher concentration; it opposes equilibrium and requires energy.
|
Active Transport
|
|
|
Junction between cells in which the adjacent plasma membranes do not touch but are held together by intercellular filaments attached to buttonlike thickenings.
|
Adhesion Junction
|
|
|
Channel protein through which water can diffuse across a membrane.
|
Aquaporin
|
|
|
Movement of elements in an organism in large amount.
|
Bulk Transport
|
|
|
Glycoprotein that helps the body defend itself against pathogens.
|
Cell Recognition Protein
|
|
|
Protein that combines with and transports a molecule or ion across the plasma membrane.
|
Carrier Protein
|
|
|
Structure that surrounds a plant, protistan, fungal, or bacterial call and maintains the cell's shape and rigidity.
|
Cell Wall
|
|
|
A steroid found in animal plasma membrane and from which other types of steroids are dervied.
|
Cholesterol
|
