Across
- 3. an extracellular glycoprotein secreted by animal cells that helps them attached to the extracellular matrix
- 9. a protein with one or more covalently attached carbohydrates
- 10. protein a protein loosely bound to the surface of a membrane or to part of an integral protein and not embedded in the lipid bilayer
- 11. matrix (ECM) the meshwork surrounding animal cells, consisting of glycoproteins, polysaccharides, and proteoglycans synthesized and secreted by the cells
- 12. a glycoprotein in the extracellular matrix of animal cells that forms strong fibers, found in connective tissue and bone; the most abundant protein in animals
Down
- 1. A cable composed of actin proteins in the cytoplasm making up part of the cytoskeleton and acting alone or with myosin to cause cell contraction
- 2. protein a transmembrane protein with hydrophobic regions that extend into hydrophobic interior of the membrane and with hydrophilic regions in contact with the aqueous solution on one or both sides of the membrane
- 4. a large molecule consisting of a small core protein with many carbohydrate chains attached, found in the extracellular matrix of animal cells
- 5. The outer region of cytoplasm, that has a more gel-like consistency than the inner regions due to the presence of multiple microfilaments
- 6. A globular protein that links into chains, two of which twist helically about each other, forming microfilaments in muscle and other kinds of cells
- 7. a lipid with one or more covalently attached carbohydrates
- 8. protein a transmembrane protein that helps a certain substance or class of closely related substances to cross the membrane
