| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
Phospholipid bilayer | arrow_right_alt | outer surface: transmit signals; inner surface: anchor plasma membrane to cell's internal structure. |
Carbohydrates | arrow_right_alt | helps prevent fatty acid tails of bilayer from sticking together |
Proteins | arrow_right_alt | define cell's characteristics & help identify chemical signals |
Cholesterol | arrow_right_alt | keep the cell's environment & outside environment separate |
