Plasma membrane
• Contact between cell and environment
• Keeps useful materials inside and harmful
stuff outside
• Allows transport, communication in both
directions
• Anchors energy-converting enzymes
Plasma membrane components
 Phospholipid bilayer
 Cholesterol
 Proteins
 Glycocalyx

protein
Cholesterol blocks some small molecules, adds fluidity
• Membrane Proteins
– span entire membrane or lie on
either side
– Purposes
• Structural Support
• Recognition
• Communication
• Transport
• Glycocalyx
– Composed of sugars protruding from
lipids and proteins
– Functions
• Binding sites for proteins
• Lubricate cells.
• Stick cells down.
• Many membrane proteins are enzymes
• Some proteins function as receptors for
chemical messages from other cells
– The binding of a messenger to a receptor may
trigger signal transduction

• Diffusion and Gradients
– Diffusion = movement of molecules
from region of higher to lower
concentration.
– Osmosis = diffusion of water across a
membrane
• In passive
transport, substances
diffuse through
membranes without
work by the cell

Water balance between cells and their
surroundings is crucial to organisms
osmoregulation = control of water balance
• Osmosis causes cells to shrink in a hypertonic
solution and swell in a hypotonic solution

Passive transport = diffusion across membranes
• Small nonpolar molecules - simple diffusion
• Many molecules pass through protein pores by
facilitated diffusion

Active transport
• transport proteins needed
• against a concentration gradient
• requires energy (ATP)

Exocytosis and endocytosis transport large
molecules
exocytosis = vesicle fuses with the membrane
and expels its contents
