1 The Cell Membrane Cell membranes are composed of two phospholipid layers.

2 The Cell Membrane Cell membranes are composed of two phospholipid layers.  The cell membrane has two major functions.

3 The Cell Membrane Cell membranes are composed of two phospholipid layers.  The cell membrane has two major functions.  forms a boundary between inside and outside of the cell cell membrane outside cell inside cell

4 The Cell Membrane Cell membranes are composed of two phospholipid layers.  The cell membrane has two major functions.  forms a boundary between inside and outside of the cell  controls passage of materials cell membrane outside cell inside cell

5 The Cell Membrane Cell membranes are composed of two phospholipid layers.

6 The Cell Membrane cell membrane Cell membranes are composed of two phospholipid layers.  The cell membrane is made of a phospholipid bilayer.

7 The Cell Membrane cell membrane Cell membranes are composed of two phospholipid layers.  The cell membrane is made of a phospholipid bilayer.  There are other molecules embedded in the membrane. protein cholesterol protein carbohydrate chain protein channel

8 The Cell Membrane cell membrane Cell membranes are composed of two phospholipid layers.  The cell membrane is made of a phospholipid bilayer.  There are other molecules embedded in the membrane.  The fluid mosaic model describes the membrane. protein cholesterol protein carbohydrate chain protein channel

10 The Cell Membrane Cell membranes are composed of two phospholipid layers.  The cell membrane is selectively permeable. Some molecules can cross the membrane while others cannot.

11 The Cell Membrane Cell membranes are composed of two phospholipid layers.  The cell membrane is selectively permeable. Some molecules can cross the membrane while others cannot.

12 The Cell Membrane The cell membrane has proteins embedded in it.  There are four main types of membrane proteins.  Cell-surface marker  Enzymes  Transport protein  Receptor protein  Proteins have polar and nonpolar sections.  The polar sections of the protein attach to the polar heads.  The nonpolar sections of the protein attach to the nonpolar tails.

13 The Cell Membrane Cell-surface markers identify what type of cell it is.  Many cell-surface markers are glycoproteins.  Glycoproteins are a combination of a protein with a polysaccharide attached.  Auto-immune diseases such as lupus are caused by the body mis- identifying the glycoprotein on a cell.  This causes the white blood cells to attack the body’s own cells.

14 The Cell Membrane Enzymes are also embedded in the cell membrane.  These membranes speed up chemical reaction within the cell. Transport proteins help substances move across the cell membrane.  Some molecules are too big to move between the lipid bilayer, and therefore have to be allowed into a cell through the transport protein.  Some transport proteins require ATP to open.

15 The Cell Membrane Chemical signals are transmitted across the cell membrane.  Receptors bind with ligands and change shape.  There are two types of receptors.
