Across
3
Type of protein embedded in the cell membrane that allows the facilitated diffusion of large molecules. The molecule attaches to this protein which then changes shape.
4
A component of phospholipids which face outwards and are water loving.
8
A membrane that allows some substances across but not larger molecules (two words).
9
A molecule which is the main component of cell membranes.
11
A type of diffusion where particles pass through the cell membrane through carrier or channel proteins.
12
A molecule on the surface of the cell membrane that has a lipid attached.
13
A type of diffusion where water molecules pass through the membrane form a high water potential to a low water potential.
Down
1
A component of phospholipids which face inwards and are water repelling.
2
A molecule found throughout the cell membrane which gives the membrane stability and fluidity.
5
A molecule on the surface of the cell membrane which has a carbohydrate attached.
6
A type of protein embedded in the cell membrane which forms a pores, allowing facilitated diffusion of charged particles.
7
Type of model describing the arrangement of molecules in a cell membrane (two words).
10
Net movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
