Membran sel

The cell nucleus is the command center of our cells. It contains our chromosomes and genetic information needed for reproduction.

In the cell membrane labeled diagram, we see Glycolipid, Glycoprotein, Globular Protein, Carbohydrate, Cholesterol, Peripheral Protein, Alpha-Helix Protein, Channel Protein, and Integral Protein.

The cell membrane structure and functions covered in this article should provide basic information associated with this cell organelle. Read on to know more.

Describes the structure and function of the plasma membrane.

What is Endoplasmic Reticulum The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a network of membrane-bound organelle distributed throughout the cytoplasm of the eukaryotic cell. It is mainly concerned with membrane biogenesis, biosynthesis, processing, and transport of proteins and lipids. It is called ‘endoplasmic,’ as it is more concentrated in the inner side of the cytoplasm (endoplasm) than […]

The main difference between glycolipid and glycoprotein is that glycolipid is a carbohydrate-attached lipid whereas a glycoprotein is a carbohydrate-attached protein. Functionally, glycolipids facilitate cellular recognition while glycoproteins serve as receptors for chemical signals.
