Integral proteins
• Proteins that are directly inserted across the cell membrane
Peripheral proteins
• Proteins that are in contact with either inner or outer side

3. Increasing number of double bonds (tail will bend->irregular shape-
>phospholipids push against each other-> weak weak hydrophobic forces)
4. Less cholesterol (high uidity)
If molecules cannot pass through the cell membrane, what can help?
1. Pump
2. Protein transporters
3. Ion channels
Features of Nucleus
• Double membrane
• Have nuclear pores for exchange of materials
• Nucleoplasm contain gene c informa on
**rER cannot make all types of proteins (cannot make mitochondrial proteins)**
Proteins and lipid modi ca on occurs in lumen of Golgi apparatus (e.g. long
proteins cleaved into shorter ones, carbohydrates a ach to proteins to form
glycoproteins)
Trans- Golgi network: side which protein and lipids are released as vesicles
Lysosome
• One membrane only
• Contains enzymes to break down large molecules
• CAN ONLY WORK UNDER ACIDIC CONDITIONS CAUSED BY ACCUMULATION
OF H IONS (hv protein pump to pump H ions into the lysosomes)

Outer mitochondrial membrane-> have porin (integral protein) for forma on of
pores on surface of cell to allow molecules to pass through
If the cell is unhealthy-> cytochrome c will leak out due to produc on of large
holes-> signal to ini ate cell death pathway
Matrix-> site for Krebs' cycle, break down fa y acids for energy produc on
