Dwilapisan fosfolipid juga mengandungi ____________ yang bersambung dengan asid lemak.
6. Cholesterol makes the plasma membrane stable, strong, more flexible and less
permeable to water-soluble substances such as ions.
Kolesterol menjadikan membrane plasma stabil, kuat, lebih fleksibel dan kurang telap kepada
bahan larut air seperti ion.
7. There are two different types of proteins:
Terdapat dua jenis protein yang berbeza:
____________ protein : the protein molecule that forms a channel or pore
Protein ___________ : molekul protein yang membentuk terusan atau liang
____________ protein : the protein molecule that acts as a carrier
Protein ___________ : molekul protein yang bertindak sebagai pengangkut
Both proteins are referred to as transport proteins.
Kedua-dua protein dikenali sebagai protein pengangkut.
8. Some membrane proteins that have carbohydrate chains attached to them on their outer
surface form ______________________.
Sebahagian protein membran mempunyai rantai karbohidrat yang melekat padanya pada
bahagian dalam untuk membentuk ________________.
