    The document contains an answer sheet for questions about the cell membrane. It provides concise answers explaining that the cell membrane protects the cell, controls what enters and exits, and enables cell signaling. It is called a phospholipid bilayer because it is composed of two layers of phospholipids. Transmembrane proteins span the entire membrane, while peripheral proteins are found inside or outside the membrane and aid cell signaling. Proteins allow substance movement and signaling, glycoproteins act as antigens, and cholesterol stabilizes the phospholipids in the membrane.

    The Cell membrane answer sheet.

    Questions
    1. What are three important functions of a cell membrane?
    It protects the contents of the cell, controls what goes in and out, and helps
    with cell signaling and communication.

    2. Why is a cell membrane also called a phospholipid bilayer?


    Because it is made of phospholipids (Two layers in a membrane).

    3. What is the difference between a transmembrane and peripheral


    protein?
    The transmembrane protein spans the entire membrane, forming channels, pumps,
    or receptors; while peripheral proteins are found on the inside or outside of the cell
    membrane, aiding in cell signaling.

    4. Compare and contrast the function of proteins, glycoproteins and cholesterol


    embedded in a cell membrane?
    Proteins allow the signaling and movement of substances, glycoproteins act as
    antigens, while cholesterol helps stabilize the biology of phospholipids.
