b.      polar molecules (like sugars) and ____________ do not pass as easily

8.      Together, the phospholipids, proteins and other membrane components form a dynamic structure.

a.      True or False:  Membranes are fluid rather than rigid.

b.      True or False:  Most proteins are “stuck” in the same position rather than freely floating in the membrane.

D.     Functions of Membrane Proteins

1.      Proteins are embedded in the membrane’s phospholipid bilayer.

2.      Other molecules (like carbohydrates) may be attached to the bilayer, too, but proteins perform most of the membrane’s specific function.

a.      Enzyme activity:  Such proteins in the membrane could be ____________________, that catalyze reactions of nearby substrates.

b.      Cell-to-cell recognition:  Proteins help cells communicate and ___________________ each other.

c.       Transport Proteins help _________________ some substances (like ______________________________) across the membrane.

d.      Cell signaling:  A chemical messenger binds to a membrane protein, causing it to change shape and relay the message inside the cell.
