Definition
basic framework of membrane, found in a double layer with fatty acid tails turned inward
Term
CELLULAR ADHESION MOLECULE (CAM)
Definition
determines cell's interactions with all other cells
Term
PERIPHERAL PROTEINS
Definition
adhere to outside of membrane and functino as receptors for cell signal transduction

GOLGI APPARATUS
Definition
refines, packages, modifies, and delivers proteins
Term
MICROTUBULES
Definition
cytoskeleton of the cell, made of globular protein tubulin
Term
TRANSMEMBRANE PROTEINS
Definition
extend through bilayer and provide passage for larger molecules and ions
Term
NUCLEAR MEMBRANE
