Membrane and Membrane Transport Crossword Puzzle

QUESTIONS LIST:

• fluid mosaic: model in which proteins and a lipid bilayer exist side by side without covalent bonds between them
• peripheral: one of the three classes of proteins; also known as extrinsic protein
• scramblases: bidirectional; randomize lipids across the membrane
• transport: a type of protein that mediates the entry of specific substances into a cell.
• receptor: protein type that contains specific binding sites for extracurricular substances
• hydrophobic: interaction; major force driving the formation of lipid bilayers
• saturated: a type of fatty acids that has linear arrangements of hydrocarbon chains
• integral: class of protein embedded in a membrane
• lipid-linked: class of protein that exist at membrane surface but are covalently linked to lipids in the bilayer
• non-covalent: a bond type that is found in peripheral and integral proteins.
• passive transport: a process by which a substance enters a cell without having to use cell energy.
• covalent: bond type found in lipid-linked proteins
• two: there are this number of active transport type(s)
• active: a type of transport in which a substance is moved against a concentration gradient.
• symport: type of transport in which two compounds move through the cell membrane at the same time and in the same direction
• rafts: the assemblages that lipids are sorted into; serve as fundamental building blocks on which membrane specificity is based.
• cholesterol: present in animal membranes; makes animal membranes less fluid and more rigid,
