Round 7: Tossup 12

A constituent of these biological structures called DSPC is used in the formulation of several mRNA vaccines. These structures’ flippases and scramblases facilitate (10[1])transverse movement between their leaflets. (10[1])An early sign of apoptosis is the formation of blebs in these structures. The rigidity of these structures at varying temperatures (10[1])is controlled by their cholesterol content. (10[1])Proteins in (10[1])these structures may be classified as “peripheral” (10[1])or “integral.” The fluid mosaic model of these structures describes how channel proteins are embedded (10[1])in their phospholipid bilayers. (10[1])For 10 points, name these structures that separate the interior and exterior of cells. ■END■
