The Cell Membrane
• Thin, flexible, surround all cells• Controls the traffic of molecules into and
out of the cell (school doors/fence/security guards)–Takes in substances & takes out the cell’s
waste• Allows substances through by either
passive transport (no energy) or active transport (energy required!)

Overview of CellMembrane
• The plasma (cell) membrane –the boundary that separates
living cell from its nonliving surroundings –Also called the phospholipid
bilayer
![Page 5: Cell Membrane Structure/ Function and Cell Transport Ms. Kim Honors Biology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b953cd/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Structure of Plasma Membrane• Made of phospholipids– Phosphate head and 2 fatty acid chains
are the tail• Arranged in a bilayer– Heads (polar)– hydrophilic– Tails (nonpolar) – hydrophobic
• Roots:– Phospho- polar phosphate group– Lipid- non-polar fat– Bi- two– Layer- sheet or quantity covering a
surface 5

Phospholipids

Proteins

Polar heads love water & dissolve.
Non-polar tails “hide” from water.

• The phospholipid bilayer is a selectively permeable membrane. It is semi-permeable.• Only allows certain substances to cross it more
easily than others.
![Page 9: Cell Membrane Structure/ Function and Cell Transport Ms. Kim Honors Biology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b953cd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Selective Permeability: – Allows some materials,
but not all, to cross through
– Small, non-polar, hydrophobic, neutral molecules can pass easily through membrane
– Although polar, water is SO small that it can move through the cell membrane.
Selective Permeability
• Small polar molecules must pass through proteins
• Large molecules must be moved with vesicles

Membrane Proteins and Their Functions
• A membrane– Includes different proteins embedded in the
fluid lipid bilayer• FUNCTION:– Help move molecules and ions across the membrane– They help cells communicate between the cell’s
internal and external environments
2 major types of
membrane proteins
![Page 11: Cell Membrane Structure/ Function and Cell Transport Ms. Kim Honors Biology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b953cd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Integral• Permanently attached to the membrane • Are often transmembrane • found throughout the entire bilayer
• Peripheral • Are appendages loosely bound to the surface of the
membrane• Only found “outside” of the bilayer
Proteins
![Page 12: Cell Membrane Structure/ Function and Cell Transport Ms. Kim Honors Biology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b953cd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Cholesterol stabilizes (stiffens) the membrane– Integrates between phospholipids– Without cholesterol, cell membranes would be too fluid, not firm
enough (very mushy).• Cholesterol also helps maintain the fluidity
– Also helps separate the phospholipids so that the fatty acid chains can’t come together and crystallize.
• Therefore, cholesterol helps prevent extremes—whether too fluid, or too firm—in the consistency of the cell membrane.
• Present in animal cell membranes• Absent in bacteria and most plants where the cell wall provides stability
Cholesterol

Why have Carbohydrates on Cell Membrane proteins?
• Cell-cell recognition–Is a cell’s ability to distinguish one type of
neighboring cell from another–It’s their “ID” tag
![Page 14: Cell Membrane Structure/ Function and Cell Transport Ms. Kim Honors Biology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b953cd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Carbs found on the outside for identification– Glycolipids and Glycoproteins serve as
recognition sites for other cells
Carbohydrates (Oligosaccharides)
Glycoprotein

2 different types membrane carbohydrates
• Glycolipids – Carbohydrates covalently attached to lipids
• Glycoproteins– Carbohydrates covalently attached to proteins
(most abundant)

Fluid Mosaic Model• Description of arrangement of molecules that make up the
cell membrane– Cell Membrane is flexible, not rigid– Phospholipids can move from side to side and slide past each other
• Variety of molecules studding the membrane is similar to arrangement of tiles with different textures and patterns
