| Cell Membrane | What regulates the flow of material in and out of a cell? |
| Selective Permeable | Means that only certain material can pass through the the membrane. |
| Lipid Bilayer | a double-layered sheet, in which there are two layers of lipid |
| Prokaryotic cell wall | This consists of long polymers called peptidoglycans, and some have a second outer layer composed of lipoproteins and lipopolysaccharides |
| Eukaryotic cell wall | This has three parts: the primary cell wall, the middle lamella, and the secondary cell wall |
| Primary cell wall | This is composed of mainly cellulose and is the innermost layer of the wall |
| Middle lamella | this contains polysaccharides called pectines. |
| Secondary cell wall | is the outermost layer, it consists of cellulos and strengthening mater called lignin |
| Channel protein | a protein that allows a particular molecule or ion to feely cross the membrane as it enters or leaves the cell |
| Carried proteins | a protein that selectively interacts with a specefic molecule or ion so it can cross the cell membrane to enter or exit the cell |
| receptor proteins | a protein that has a specific shape so that specific molecules can enter/exit |
| Enzyme proteins | an enzyme that catalyzes a specific reaction |
| Cell-recognition protein | glycorprotein that identify the cell. They make up the cellular fingerprint by which cells can recognize each other |
