• ALL Cells of ALL Organisms have a:

• The cell membrane separates cells from the external environment.
• Analogy: a fence around a yard protects and acts as a boundary for whatever is inside.
Are fences designed to completely restrict access?
![Page 4: The Cell Membrane. ALL Cells of ALL Organisms have a:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649e9e5503460f94b9f4fa/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Function:
• The cell (plasma) membrane acts as a protective barrier that regulates which particles can enter and exit the cell.
• Because of this regulation it’s said to be SELECTIVELY PERMEABLE
(or semi-permeable)
![Page 5: The Cell Membrane. ALL Cells of ALL Organisms have a:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649e9e5503460f94b9f4fa/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Function cont.
• The membrane separates all cells from the external environment which allows cells to be chemically different from their environment.
• The cell membrane also works to keep the internal functions of the cell constant and to maintain cell “balance” (Homeostasis)
![Page 6: The Cell Membrane. ALL Cells of ALL Organisms have a:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649e9e5503460f94b9f4fa/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Looking through a microscope..
• The picture above is an electron micrograph of a cell membrane at approx. 240,000x magnification
• This picture shows the cell membrane at a much lower magnification. The lighter area to the right represents the extracellular space.
![Page 7: The Cell Membrane. ALL Cells of ALL Organisms have a:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649e9e5503460f94b9f4fa/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Basic structural component of the plasma membrane is the phospholipid
![Page 8: The Cell Membrane. ALL Cells of ALL Organisms have a:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649e9e5503460f94b9f4fa/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Structure - The phospholipid:• Head: phosphate group
(polar: hydrophilic) -like water and is soluble in water
• Two Tails: fatty acids (non-polar: hydrophobic) - hates water and is insoluble
in water
• The water-soluble ends face the outer environment and inner cell components
![Page 9: The Cell Membrane. ALL Cells of ALL Organisms have a:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649e9e5503460f94b9f4fa/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Cell Membrane Structure• It is composed of two layers of lipid material with protein
molecules interspersed
• This is called the phospholipid bilayer
![Page 10: The Cell Membrane. ALL Cells of ALL Organisms have a:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649e9e5503460f94b9f4fa/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
![Page 11: The Cell Membrane. ALL Cells of ALL Organisms have a:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649e9e5503460f94b9f4fa/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Fluid Mosaic Model
![Page 12: The Cell Membrane. ALL Cells of ALL Organisms have a:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649e9e5503460f94b9f4fa/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Hydrophilic: “water loving”• Hydrophobic: “water hating”
So, how will the phospholipids behave in water?
![Page 13: The Cell Membrane. ALL Cells of ALL Organisms have a:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649e9e5503460f94b9f4fa/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Dynamic (fluid) structure NOT rigid!
• Can change shape to perform different functions!
• If it breaks easily fixed!– WHY DO YOU THINK THIS IS??
![Page 15: The Cell Membrane. ALL Cells of ALL Organisms have a:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649e9e5503460f94b9f4fa/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
![Page 16: The Cell Membrane. ALL Cells of ALL Organisms have a:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649e9e5503460f94b9f4fa/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The membrane is not phospholipids alone!!
• There are several other components to the membrane that play vital parts in its function.
1. Cholesterol – (keep membrane fluid)
2. Glycoproteins - specialized sugars attached to a protein (used for cell recognition)
3. Proteins
4. Glycolipid- specialized sugar on some lipids
![Page 17: The Cell Membrane. ALL Cells of ALL Organisms have a:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649e9e5503460f94b9f4fa/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
1. Cholesterol: Stabilizes the Membrane*Cholesterol is a steroid lipid*Flat shape: Inserted between phospholipids*Present in animal cell membranes*Absent in bacteria and most plants because cell walls
provide the stability
![Page 18: The Cell Membrane. ALL Cells of ALL Organisms have a:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649e9e5503460f94b9f4fa/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Cholesterol…• Amoeba: single-celled
animal (protozoa) that moves by extending “feet” of cytoplasm (pseudopodia)
• Red blood cell: carries oxygen: requires a regular shape to perform it’s function.
![Page 19: The Cell Membrane. ALL Cells of ALL Organisms have a:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649e9e5503460f94b9f4fa/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
2. Glycoproteins: sugar attached to a protein which provides cellular ID
![Page 20: The Cell Membrane. ALL Cells of ALL Organisms have a:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649e9e5503460f94b9f4fa/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Example:• Immune system recognizes invaders by the
unique structure (the glycoprotein) on the cell membrane
– Ex. Transplanted organs are often rejected by recipients because of the sugars on the proteins.
– Ex. Type A red blood cell is different from a type B because of the sugar in the protein
2.Glycoproteins
![Page 21: The Cell Membrane. ALL Cells of ALL Organisms have a:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649e9e5503460f94b9f4fa/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Glycoproteins and blood type:
![Page 22: The Cell Membrane. ALL Cells of ALL Organisms have a:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649e9e5503460f94b9f4fa/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
3. Proteins: “gatekeepers”, receptors and transport molecules
![Page 23: The Cell Membrane. ALL Cells of ALL Organisms have a:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649e9e5503460f94b9f4fa/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Proteins in the membrane can:1 - Act as a gatekeeper, opening and closing paths through the membrane2 - Others are receptor sites for hormones3 - Transport using cell energy to pick up needed materials
