CELL/ PLASMA MEMBRANE• Separates the inside of the cell from its environment
• Receives messages from outside
• Allows things to move in and out of the cell
• Has markers that identify the type of cell

WHAT ARE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CELL MEMBRANE?
• Selectively permeable• Only some things can
pass through the membrane
• Polar, charged and large molecules can only get through membrane via transport proteins
• Composed of • phospholipids
• Proteins

BI-LAYER OF PHOSPHOLIPIDSBI-LAYER OF PHOSPHOLIPIDS
Heads are polar• hydrophilic
• Tails are nonpolar• hydrophobic
• Steroid molecules make membrane rigid.
think: What do: “hydro”, “bi”, “philic” & “phobic” mean?

MACROMOLECULES: LIPIDS• Lipids are fats & oils.Lipids are fats & oils.
• Lipids are composed of only C,H,O.
• Lipids are nonpolar.
• Lipids are composed of glycerol and 3 fatty acids.
• Lipids can be saturated (solid at room temperature) or unsaturated (liquid at room temperature) The glycerol forms the “head” and
The 3 fatty acid chains the “tails”

PROTEINS EMBEDDED IN BI-PROTEINS EMBEDDED IN BI-LAYERLAYER
Peripheral proteins• act as recognition
sites on the outside of the cell
• Inside the cell they are enzymes
• Integral proteins• act as channels that
move things through the membrane
Think: What do: “peripheral” & “integral” mean? How does this relate to where the proteins are in the plasma membrane?

• Phospholipids & proteins move about. (fluid)• Membrane has
many types of molecules in it (mosaic)
