up plasma membrane
phospholipids - Correct answers✔✔what makes up 75% of the plasma membrane
glycolipids - Correct answers✔✔what makes up 5% of the plasma membrane
, lipids have both polar and nonpolar regions - Correct answers✔✔what does amphipathic nature
of lipids mean
head - Correct answers✔✔what is the polar part of the membrane
two fatty acid tails - Correct answers✔✔what is the nonpolar part of the membrane
rigidity - Correct answers✔✔what does the cholesterol in a membrane provide
glycolipids - Correct answers✔✔what appears in only the membrane layer that faces the
extracellular fluid
integral and peripheral - Correct answers✔✔what are the two types of membrane proteins
transmembrane - Correct answers✔✔what protein spans the entire lipid bilayer and protrudes
