Cell membrane
All living things are surrounded by a membrane.
A cell membrane is also known as plasma membrane.

Controls
exchange of materials such as nutrients and
waste between cells and their environment.
Has
other important functions for example to enable
cells to receive hormones.
To
understand the function of anything in biology, you
must study the structure first!

A Phospholipid
7
Phospholipids are important structural components of cell
membranes. Phospholipids are modified so that a phosphate group
(PO4-) replaces one of the three fatty acids normally found on a
lipid. The addition of this group makes a polar "head" and two
nonpolar "tails".

A phospholipid
HYDROPHILIC HEAD
At the other end of the phospholipid is a
phosphate group and several double
bonded oxygens. The atoms at this end
of the molecule are not shared equally.
This end of the molecule has a charge
and is attracted to water. It is POLAR
HYDROPHOBIC TAILS
The two long chains coming off of the
bottom of this molecule are made up of
carbon and hydrogen. Because both of
these elements share their electrons
evenly these chains have no charge. They
are NON POLAR. Molecules with no
charge are not attracted to water; as a
result water molecules tend to push
them out of the way as they are
attracted to each other. This causes
molecules with no charge not to dissolve
in water.

A Phospholipid Bilayer
Phospholipids can form:
BILAYERS
-2 layers of
phospholipids with
hydrophobic tails
protected inside by the
hydrophilic heads.
The PHOSPHOLIPID
BILAYER is the basic
structure of membranes.

Structure of the cell membrane
Phospholipids
Cell membranes are made mainly of
phospholipids. They have:
HYDROPHILIC heads (water liking)
-Attracted to the water POLAR
HYDROPHOBIC tails (water fearing)
-Not attracted to the water NONPOLAR
Phospholipids can form BILAYERS
-2 layers of phospholipids with
hydrophobic tails protected
inside by the hydrophilic
heads.
The PHOSPHOLIPID BILAYER is
the basic structure of membranes.

Fluid mosaic model
Cell membranes also contain proteins within the phospholipid bilayer.
This ‘model’ for the structure of the membrane is called the:
FLUID MOSAIC MODEL
FLUID- because individual phospholipids and proteins can move around
freely within the layer, like it’s a liquid.
MOSAIC- because of the pattern produced by the scattered protein
molecules when the membrane is viewed from above.

Double layer – BILAYER of phospholipids which can move about by DIFFUSION
in their own MONOLAYER
Phospholipid tails point inwards forming a NON-POLAR HYDROPHOBIC interior.
The phospholipid heads point outwards facing the aqueous (water containing)
medium surrounding the membrane.
Some phospholipids fatty acid tails are SATURATED – straight so fit together
tightly. Some are UNSATURATED – bent so fit together loosely. The more
unsaturated tails there are the more ‘fluid’ the membrane becomes. The lower
the temp, the less fluid.
Most protein molecules float like icebergs in the layers, some are fixed to
structures inside the cell and don’t float.
Some proteins are embedded in the outer layer, some in the inner layer and
some span the two layers. Hydrophobic and Hyrdophilic parts of the protein
molecules sit next to the Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic portions of the
phospholids of the membrane. This ensures the proteins stay in the membrane.
The membrane is 7nm thick on average.
Some phospholipids have carbohydrates attached to them – GLYCOLIPIDS
Some of the proteins have carbohydrates attached to them – GLYCOPROTEINS
The membrane also contains molecules of CHOLESTEROL

Roles of components of cell membranes
Using the following headings produce a table on A4 to summarise roles of t he
different types of molecules found in the cell membrane. Try not to copy, pick
out the relevant information and write it in note form You may want to use
bullet points, different coloured pens etc basically whatever helps you to
remember them.
There will be a short test on this next lesson! Use pages 53-54.

Summary

Cell membranes have a basic structure composed of a PHOSPHOLIPID BILAYER.

Phospholipds have HYDROPHOBIC (non-polar) tails and HYDROPHILIC (polar) heads.

The best model of the cell membrane is called the FLUID MOSAIC MODEL

The average thickness of the membrane is 7nm.

The fatty acid tails of phospholipids can be SATURATED (straight) or UNSATURATED
(bent)

Proteins can float or be fixed and also have hydrophobic and hydrophilic portions.

Some proteins and phospholipids have carbohydrates attached to them to form
GLYCOPROTEINS AND GLYCOLIPIDS.

Phospholipids form the bilayer, act as barrier to most water soluble substances

Cholesterol regulates the fluidity of the membrane, gives mechanical stability and help to
prevent ions from passing through the membrane.

Proteins act as transport proteins to act as channels for substances to move into or out of
the cell. Some act as membrane enzymes and some have important roles in membranes of
organelles.

Glycolipids and Glycoproteins help to stabilise membrane structure, some act as receptor
molecules eg for hormones and neurotransmitters
orCell
as antigens for other cells to
