2
Surrounds all cells Regulates cell’s internal environment Maintains HOMEOSTASIS Maintains the same conditions constant inside the cell, regardless of external conditions
3
Regulates what enters and exits the cells Selectively permeable Only allows specific materials to pass over the membrane Examples: spaghetti strainer & mosquito netting Allows water & nutrients to enter the cell and wastes to leave the cell
4
◦ Lipid with… 2 fatty acids 1 glycerol 1 phosphate group 1 polar group ◦ Fatty acids are hydrophobic ◦ The rest of the phospholipid is hydrophilic
5
Form a bilayer ◦ Cell membrane has two layers of phospholipids ◦ Polar “heads” attracted to water, carbs, proteins outside the cell and in the cytoplasm Face outward ◦ Non-polar “tails” not attracted to water Face inward
6
Lipid Hydrophobic Fits in with fatty acid tails of phospholipids Function: Keeps membrane from freezing or falling apart Helps “stabilize” membrane
7
Membrane proteins structure: Hydrophobic regions & Hydrophilic regions These help membrane proteins STAY in membrane
8
Which color of the protein is hydrophilic? Hydrophobic?
9
Function: Recognize material & transport it into or out of cell
10
Describes the cell membrane: cell membrane Phospholipids are always moving like a fluid and membrane proteins make a pattern in the cell membrane Bozeman membrane
