1. Explain the specific asymmetric phospholipid distribution in the plasma membrane. 2. Explain where lipids are synthesized and the role of flippases. 3. Explain the location of glycolipids in the plasma membrane and why this location. What is functional importance of glycolipids and glycoproteins? 4. Explain the ways that proteins can associate with the lipid bilayer and define integral membrane protein vs. peripheral membrane protein.

Plasma membrane receptors must somehow let the inside of the cell “know” that a ligand/signal is present on the outside of the cell. In most cases, the ligand does NOT enter the cell. How does the inside of the cell “get the message”? Name two specific mechanisms for how this can be achieved. List and describe each mechanism. Then provide one example for each. Mechanism 1 (including example): Mechanism 2 (including example):

Plasma Membrane. What is the composition of plasma membrane (PM) of a bacterial cell? How does this compare to a eukaryotic cell? List the functions of the PM. Without complex internal membranes, where do prokaryotes carry out membrane-bound chemical reactions such as ATP synthesis or photosynthesis?
