transport proteins - are responsible for controlling passage across the membrane fluid mosaic model - The membrane is a mosaic of protein molecules bobbing in a fluid bilayer of phospholipids fatty acid tails - nonpolar, hydrophobic fatty acid heads - hydrophilic, polar periphial proteins - bound to the surface of the membrane integral proteins - penetrate the hydrophobic core (ones that span the membrane are transmembrane protiens How do cells recognize each other? - by binding to molec...
