Phospholipid molecules are “fluid”: free to diffuse and exhibit rapid lateral diffusion along the layer they are present in. The FATTY ACID chains in phospholipids and glycolipids usually contain an even number of carbon atoms, typically between 14 and 24. The 16- and 18-carbon fatty acids are the most common. In animal cells, cholesterol is found dispersed in varying degrees throughout cell membranes, where it confers a stiffening and strengthening effect on the membrane. It resides in the irregular spaces between the hydrophobic tails of the membrane lipids. polar, hydrophilic heads | | 7nm | | hydrophobic tails SELECTIVE TRANSPORT OF MOLECULES ACROSS MEMBRANE Nutrients: in Waste: out Gate Keepers: Transmembrane PROTEINS Create: ion channels, proton pumps, etc. Extremely important to cell: e.g. a third of the genes in yeast code specifically for them Again: chicken and egg Need DNA to code for membrane proteins but Need membrane proteins to create selective membrane to allow cell to exist.
