The filtration membrane includes what?

Answer 1

the main feature of the cell membrane is a phosopholipid bilayer. the phosphates form hydrophilic heads, with the fatty acids forming a hydrophobic tails. within this bilayer though there are often gycolipids (sugars attached to lipids), lipoproteins (lipids attached to proteins) and intergral membrane proteins (proteins 'woven' through the bilayer). this is a very simplistic veiw of the many many different types of membrane structures, with different members of each of those groups performing various indipendant actions.

Answer 2

*Peripheral Protein
* Integral Protein
* Glycolipid
* Cholesterol
* Phospholipid molecule layer
* Polar ends of phospholipid molecules
Not sure what your teacher is after though....
Specialisations of the plasma membrane are (not all have each one)
* microvilli
* membrane junctions - tight, desmosomes or gap

Answer 3

The most basic components are the lipid bilayer that makes up the bulk of the membrane, and then the proteinsinserted into the bilayer that allow metabolic functions (chemical transport in and out, enzymatic activity, receptor activity, etc). The type of cell determines the proteins in the membrane.

If the cell has one, the cytoskeleton (inside the cell) or the cell wall (outside the cell) will also anchor to the membrane.

Answer 4

Filtration membrane includes: 1) Glomerular endothelium, 2) Podocytes, and 3) Basement membrane.

Answer 5

a. Extracellular layer

b. Cytoplasmic layer

Answer 6

The 3 components of the filtration membrane are:

1-Fenestrated endothilum

2-Basal Lamina

3-Slith membrane

Answer 7

Glomeruli
