C e l l M e m b r a n e Homeostasis Lipid Bilayer Membrane Proteins Structure Barrier Membrane Proteins Proteins in Lipids Types of Proteins
Homeostasis Maintenance of stable internal conditions in a changing environment. Must maintain homeostasis to live
Homeostasis All living things respond to their environment. How do you respond to hot weather? Cold weather?
H o m e o s t a s I s Cells maintain by controlling movement across cell membrane Some materials allowed through; others not = gatekeeper
Cell membrane
Structure Lipid bilayer Barrier Sea of phospholipids Phosphate “head” = Polar = charge at each end, likes h20 two fatty acid “tails”= nonpolar = ????????
Lipid bilayer Barrier ~ only small, nonpolar substances can pass
Membrane proteins
Membrane proteins Some. . . Face outside Face inside Stretch across and face both ways ~Polar portion attracted to water on either side ~Non polar portions attracted to interior
Membrane proteins Cell-surface markers “name tag” Chain of sugars (carbohydrates) Attached to surface by glycoproteins (proteins attached to Carbohydrate, help cells work together)
Membrane proteins Enables sensing Once it of binds, this surroundings Receptor proteins Enables sensing of surroundings by binding to substances outside cell Receptor proteins Once it binds, this causes changes to occur inside cell
Membrane proteins Enzymes Assist w/ chemical rxns inside cell
Membrane proteins Aid in the mvmt of substances in & out of cell Transport proteins Aid in the mvmt of substances in & out of cell Why do some substances need help moving thru the membrane? Only small, nonpolar substances can pass. The nonpolar middle repels any polar & large substances!
