Question

cell membrane coloring. use the color code and identify the name for each part of the cell membrane. phospholipid bilayer (no color), integral protein (purple), fatty - acid tails (orange), phospholipid head (yellow), peripheral protein (red), cholesterol (brown), carbohydrate chain (green), glycoproteins (blue). using the diagram above, label the hydrophobic and hydrophilic portions of the phospholipids. match the cell - membrane structure or its function with the correct letter from the diagram. attracts water, repels water, helps maintain the flexibility of the membrane, makes up the bilayer (2 answers), involved in cell - to - cell recognition, helps transport materials (such as glucose) across the cell membrane.

Explanation:

The cell membrane has a phospholipid - bilayer structure. Phospholipid heads are hydrophilic (attract water) and fatty - acid tails are hydrophobic (repel water). Cholesterol helps maintain membrane flexibility. Phospholipids make up the bilayer. Glycoproteins are involved in cell - to - cell recognition. Integral proteins help transport materials across the membrane.

Answer:

1. Attracts water: Phospholipid head
2. Repels water: Fatty acid tails
3. Helps maintain the flexibility of the membrane: Cholesterol
4. Makes up the bilayer: Phospholipid head, Fatty acid tails
5. Involved in cell - to - cell recognition: Glycoproteins
6. Helps transport materials (such as glucose) across the cell membrane: Integral protein
