Categorize the components of the cell membrane:
- Phospholipid Bilayer
- Membrane Proteins
- Interior Protein Network
- Cell Surface Markers
Phospholipid Bilayer: nonpolar, hydrophobic fatty acid tails sandwiched between hydrophilic heads.
Membrane Proteins: Integral (Transmembrane), surface, and peripheral
Interior Protein Network: helps control lateral movements of membrane proteins
Cell Surface Markers: Glycolipids and glycoproteins, cell identifiers, structural support, helps maintain cell shape, function in transport, communication, and anchoring
