membrane poster

By:  Vanessa, Desi, Brianna, Ashley, and David.


This poster is of the structure of the membrane.  In this project I learned the names of the parts of the membrane and what a membrane looks like.
oligosaccharide- helps maintain stable blood glucose levels
glycolipid- they provide energy
hydrophobic cc helix-common structure for membrane proteins.
integral protein- A protein that is firmly anchored in the plasma membrane via interactions between its hydrophobic domains and the membrane phospholipids.
phospholipid
1. Act as building blocks of the biological cell membranes in virtually all organisms
2. Participate in the transduction of biological signals acroos the membrane.
3. Act as store of energy as with triglycerides.
4. Play an important role in the transport of fat between gut and liver in mammalian digestion.

cholesterol- Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that is made in the body by the liver
