Cell Membranes
Across
- 10. Helps with adhesion to other cells
- 12. contains hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions
- 13. The process by which water travels to a more negative water potential via a partially permeable membrane.
- 14. Act as receptors for molecules such as hormones
- 15. the cell membrane is said to be partially _______
- 16. A carbohydrate chain attached to a protein within the membrane
- 17. Diffusion mediated by channel proteins which does not require energy.
Down
- 1. Describes a non polar molecule that does not readily associate with water through hydrogen bonds
- 2. A phospholipid with a carbohydrate chain attached
- 3. Describes a polar molecule that selectively associates itself with water through hydrogen bonds
- 4. A membrane protein that spans the lipid bilayer having portions in contact with both the inside and outside of the cell
- 5. The are surrounding the cell membrane
- 6. The hydrophilic region of the bilayer
- 7. The principal design of the plasma membrane consists of two layers; what name is given to these two layers?
- 8. The hydrophobic region of the bilayer
- 9. Limits fluidity of the membrane
- 11. A protein responsible for mediating the passive transport of molecules by facilitated diffusion from one side of the lipid bi
