MEMBRANE PERMEABILITY
2
Cell Membrane
3
Cell Membrane 1. All cells have a cell membrane 2. Functions: a. Controls what enters and exits the cell to maintain an internal balance called homeostasis b. Provides protection and support for the cell
4
Continuation 3. Structure of cell membrane Lipid Bilayer -2 layers of phospholipids a. Phosphate head is polar (water loving) b. Fatty acid tails non- polar (water fearing) c. Proteins embedded in membrane Phospholipids Lipid Bilayer
5
Fluid Mosaic Model of the cell membrane Polar heads love water & dissolve. Non-polar tails hide from water. Carbohydrate cell markers Proteins Fluid Mosaic Model
6
Continuation 44. Cell membranes have pores (holes) in it a. Selectively permeable: Allows some molecules in and keeps other molecules out b. The structure helps it be selective!
7
Structure of the Cell Membrane Outside of cell Inside of cell (cytoplasm) Lipid Bilayer Proteins Transport Protein Phospholipids Carbohydrate chains
8
Protein Transport’s Path
9
Many transport proteins simply provide corridors allowing a specific molecule or ion to cross the membrane. –These channel proteins allow fast transport.
10
Some transport proteins do not provide channels but appear to actually move the solute across the membrane as the protein changes shape. Transport proteins
