biology exam #2
how are substances brought across the membrane?
-passive transport *simple diffusion( movement from an area of high concentration to an area o low concentration
function of plasma membrane
-protect the cell from its surroundings -regulates what goes in and out of the cell -selectively permeable -certain substances are allowed to pass through freely
membrane proteins Function
-responsible for moving substances across the membrane and communicating with other cells
membrane proteins examples
-transport protein:(doorway) form channels or acts as carriers -receptor proteins:(receive-lock on door)when a specific molecule binds to them it triggers a specific cellular response -recognition protein: serve as cell ID tags or cell surface attachment sites
