2. Cell Theory Plasma Membrane and Transport
The PM is the barrier that surrounds the cell
Allows the cell's internal environment to remain the same separate from the outside. (homeostasis)
Selectively permeable – allows certain molecules in and keeps other molecules out.
Fluid mosaic model – it has many components and exhibits fluidity (moves like water)
The only way to get into the cell is to penetrate the plasma membrane.

Plasma Membrane and Transport

4. Cell Theory PM Components
Phospholipid bilayer – provides the main structure
Proteins – Integral and Peripheral – communication, transport, and anchors
Cholesterol – adds fluidity to membrane
Carbohydrates – cell to cell recognition bound to lipids and proteins.

5. Cell Theory
Phospholipid bilayer – phosphate heads interact with water. Hydrophobic tails hide from water providing the firm structure.

6. Cell Theory Cholesterol Wedged between phospholipid molecules
At high temperatures, it stiffens up causing it to be less fluid.
Hinders the tight packing of the phospholipid lowering the temperature it would need to solidify.
It is called a “temperature buffer”

Plasma Membrane and Transport

8. Cell Theory
Proteins
Integral – penetrate the hydrophobic core of the lipid bilayer
Peripheral – attached to membrane and integral proteins
Transport - integral
Enzyme activity - integral
Signal reception – integral + peripheral
Cell – Cell recognition - integral + carbohydrates
Intercellular joining (cells hook up) - integral
Attaches to the cytoskeleton and extra cellular matrix – integral + peripheral

9. Cell Theory
Peripheral proteins usually attach to integral proteins in order to aid in communication and anchor cell components

Protein functions...

11. Cell Theory
Viruses, hormones, bacteria, and toxins all can interact with carbohydrate chains allowing them to recognize cells.

12. Cell Theory Plasma membrane permeability
Nonpolar molecules can easily dissolve in the lipid bilayer and passes into the cell.
Polar molecules, ions, and large macro molecules do not pass through the hydrophobic core of the cell membrane.
Transport proteins are required for facilitated diffusion in order to regulate passage of polar molecules and ions.Carrier proteins are required for active transport
Aquaporins are transport proteins that allow the passage of water into the cell.

13. Cell Theory Quick review of the types of transport
Passive – no energy (high to low concentration)
Facilitated diffusion – movement of particles with a transport protein (high to low concentration)
Diffusion – movement of particles from high to low concentration
Active transport – requires ATP and moves from low to high concentration

14. Cell Theory Sodium-Potassium pump (Active transport)
Pumps ions against the concentration gradient
Pump transitions between 2 different shapes of the Na+ and K+ (electrolytes)
The charged ions aid in an electrochemical gradient.
This pump is used mostly in muscle and nerve cells allowing current (signal) from the brain to pass through each cell.

QUESTION!
Na+ and K+ are considered electrolytes that must be replenished when people become dehydrated. People who suffer eating disorders (bulimia in particular) and extreme dehydration run the risk of heart attack. Why is heart attack a risk for people who suffer these issues?

TASKS!
Discuss the types of proteins in the plasma membrane and the types of transport that are involved.
Discuss the role of cholesterol and how it contributes to the fluidity of the plasma membrane.
How do pathogens interact with a cell? How do they know which cell to attack?
Discuss the mechanisms behind the NA+/K+ pump. Why would this type of transport be found in nervous and muscle cells?
