3.3 cell membranes
![Page 2: 3.3 cell membranes. Cell membrane Also known as plasma membraneAlso known as plasma membrane Makes boundary between cell and outside worldMakes boundary](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bf7a1a28abf838c82f95/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Cell membrane• Also known as plasma membrane
• Makes boundary between cell and outside world
• Selective channels, or pores, allow passage of certain materials in and out of cell• Like a bouncer or gate keeper

Membrane structure
• Two layers of phospholipids (bilayer)
• Various other molecules are dispersed through membrane as well

Phospholipid structure
• Charged phosphate group
• Glycerol
• Two fatty acid chains
• Glycerol + phosphate group = head
• 2 fatty acid chains = tail

Head of phospholipid
• Charged (polar)• Can form hydrogen bonds with water• Hydrophilic (hydro=water philic=loving)

Tail of phospholipid
• Nonpolar
• Hydrophobic (water fearing)
• Because the heads are exposed to the cytoplasm inside the cell and fluids on the outside of the cell, the tails are always pointing INWARD (away from water)• This is why a bilayer forms
• Like a sandwich

Some Other Molecules Embedded in Membrane
• Cholesterol• Strengthens cell membrane
• Proteins• Extend through one or both layers and help different
materials cross membrane• Different cells have different membrane bound
proteins
• Carbohydrates• Attached to membrane proteins• Act as ID tag so cells can distinguish between one
another

Membrane Fluidity
• Membranes are flexible, not rigid
• Phospholipids in each layer can slide past each other and move around• Very “fluid” motion

Selective permeability
• Membrane allows SOME but not all materials to pass through• Allows cell to maintain homeostasis despite
unpredictable outside surroundings• Cell must control import and export of
molecules and ions

Crossing the membrane
• Some methods of crossing require energy, some do not. Depends on many factors
• Molecule size• Polarity• Concentration inside and outside cell
• Generally…
Small nonpolar molecules easily cross
Small polar molecules are transported by proteins
Large molecules moved in vesicles

Chemical signals are transmitted across membrane
• Receptor- protein that detects a signaling molecule, binds to it and performs an action in response
• Molecule it binds to is called a ligand
• When a receptor and ligand bind, a conformational (shape) change occurs• Allows interaction with other molecules
• Intracellular receptor- found inside cell and bind with molecules that have crossed the membrane already
• Membrane receptor- stuck in membrane and bind to molecules that cannot enter cell (changes shape and sends message)
