Main component of Cell membrane
Phospholipid
Integral protein
Embedded in the membrane
Channel protein
Permits movement of substances through
Receptors
Bind molecules that trigger changes in the cell
Glycoprotein
Protein with carbohydrate for cell recognition
Peripheral protein
Do not span membrane
Concentration gradient
Difference in the number of molecules between two regions
Transport proteins
Acts as passageway to allow molecules into or out of the cell
Tonicity
Comparison of solute concentration between two solutions
Hypertonic
Solution with less water (more solutes)
Hypotonic
Solution with more water( fewer solutes)
Isotonic
When two solutions have the same amount of water and solutes
Endocytosis
Transport materials into the cell
Exicytosis
Transports materials outside of the cell
