What are membrane receptors that attach phosphates to specific animo acids in proteins?
called receptor tyrosine-kinases
What are the proteins that identify the cell called?
They are the glyco proteins. They are made using carbohydrate and protein
What is the process When proteins help molecules move across the membrane is called?
when proteins help molecules move across the membrane, it it called Facilitated Diffusion
What proteins are embedded in the plasma membrane?
They are called integral proteins
Are carrier proteins peripheral membrane proteins?
The cell membranes that can act as channels are called integral proteins. Peripheral proteins are the ones that are attached to just one side of the cell membrane.
Which type of membrane protein attaches to specific hormones such as insulin?
The membrane proteins that attach to specific hormones such as insulin are called receptor proteins.

What water-soluble hormone would most likely bind to what membrane proteins?
Channel linked receptors bind to neurotransmitters. (also called ion channels and ligand gated ion channels) A ligand is the signal molecule i.e the neurotransmitter. Hormones bind to intracellular receptors because hormones are non polar and can cross the cell's plasma membrane. (also called cytoplasmic receptors)
What is the process When proteins help molecules move across the membrane is called?
when proteins help molecules move across the membrane, it it called Facilitated Diffusion
What proteins are embedded in the plasma membrane?
They are called integral proteins
Neurotransmitters bind to specific proteins on the postsynaptic membrane called?
Receptor molecules, or called receptor proteins.
How can a lipid bilayer be fluid yet asymetrical?
There are proteins embedded in the membrane also. Some of these proteins exist on the aqueous side (outside) while others are only embedded on the inside. These are called peripheral membrane proteins. Some proteins go span the entire length of the lipid bilayer and are called transmembrane proteins. Peripheral membrane proteins are only temporarily attached and can become free by some types of stresses (i.e. detergents, solvents etc.). Integral membrane proteins are proteins that are permanently attached to the membrane.
Are carrier proteins peripheral membrane proteins?
The cell membranes that can act as channels are called integral proteins. Peripheral proteins are the ones that are attached to just one side of the cell membrane.
What are proteins embedded in the plasma membrane called?
They are called integral proteins
What 2 molecules make up the cell membrane?
The plasma membrane is flexible and is made up of organic molecules called lipids and proteins .
Structure of a membrane?
Every cell membrane consists of phospholipid bi layer, specialized proteins, cholesterol and glycolipids.Every plasma membrane maintains a membrane resting potential across its surface. Sometimes clusters of cholesterol called lipid rafts are also found.
