Across
- 3. A carbohydrate coating that facilitates cell motility and prevents unnecessary cell adhesion.
- 6. A property of the plasma membrane that permits the movement of only certain molecules in and out of the cells.
- 7. The movement of phospholipids within the lipid bilayer, from one layer to another layer that does not occur spontaneously.
- 8. Interaction between ________ on adjacent epithelial cells can create a barrier that restricts particular membrane components to one domain.
- 11. Relatively ordered membrane domains which are formed transiently in response to certain signals.
- 12. A term that refers to phospholipid that has a glycerol backbone.
Down
- 1. A short and rigid steroid ring structure molecule that reduces the fluidity and permeability of the cell membrane.
- 2. A transporter that transfers the newly synthesized phospholipids randomly to the other layer of the phospholipid bilayer.
- 4. A lipid molecule with a carbohydrate attached by a glycosidic bond.
- 5. The major type of lipids found in cell membranes.
- 9. An anchor protein that links the intracellular cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix proteins.
- 10. A class of membrane protein that function to fix the position of molecules on either side of the membrane.
