CELL (PLASMA) MEMBRANE Chapter 4 Pg
Homeostasis Balanced internal conditions of cells Maintained by cell membrane controlling what enters or leaves cell.
Cell (Plasma) Membrane Function: Protective barrier Semi-permeable: Regulated transport of molecules in and out of cell
Cell (Plasma) Membrane Function: Protective barrier Semi-permeable: Regulated transport of molecules in and out of cell Allow cell recognition Interact with the environment
Structure 1. Phospholipid Bilayer - Two layers of phospholipids
Structure 1. Phospholipid Bilayer - Two layers of phospholipids a) Phospholipid contains: o 2 fatty acid chains that are nonpolar (hydrophobic) o Polar head (hydrophilic)
Structure 1. Phospholipid Bilayer - Two layers of phospholipids a) Phospholipid contains: o 2 fatty acid chains that are nonpolar (hydrophobic) o Polar head (hydrophilic) b) Fatty acid tails create a hydrophobic center
Membrane Structure 2. Membrane Proteins-embedded in the lipid layer a. Integral Proteins: extend through both sides of membrane
Membrane Structure 2. Membrane Proteins-embedded in the lipid layer a. Integral Proteins: extend through both sides of membrane Receptor Proteins: binds to substances outside the cell
Membrane Structure 2. Membrane Proteins-embedded in the lipid layer a. Integral Proteins: extend through both sides of membrane Receptor Proteins: binds to substances outside the cell Transport (channel) Proteins: Aids in moving substances across membrane Glycoproteins (with Carbs): cell identification
Membrane Structure 2. Membrane Proteins-embedded in the lipid layer b. Peripheral Proteins: only on one side of membrane -Enzymes (assist in chemical reactions)
Membrane Structure 3. Cholesterol in bilayer for strength
