Question
A main function of the cell membrane is to be very selective as to what is able to
cross through, a condition known as a
barrier. In the fluid mosaic
membrane model, lipids are organized in a
arrangement, such that
portions of the lipids are exposed to either the interior or exterior
of the cell, while the
lipid portions are sandwiched in the middle
of the membrane. As part of the cell membrane, a main function of
proteins is to provide
while a main function of
proteins is to provide
Other cell membrane
molecules include
which function to provide fluidity to rigid
membranes and rigidity to fluid membranes; and surface carbohydrates, which
function to provide
. Aminophospholipids move to the inner
leaflet of the membrane, by an enzyme known as the
