Cell Membrane aka Plasma Membrane
• Composed of double layer of phospholipids and
•
•
•
proteins (A phospholipid bilayer)
Surrounds outside of ALL cells
Is semipermeable

Phospholipids
• Heads contain glycerol &
•
•
•
phosphate and are hydrophilic
(attract water)
Tails are made of fatty acids and
are hydrophobic (repel water)
Make up a bilayer where tails
point inward toward each other
Can move laterally to allow
small molecules (O2, CO2, & H2O
to enter)

The Cell Membrane is Fluid
FLUID MOSAIC MODEL: Molecules in cell membranes
are constantly moving and changing

Cell Membrane Proteins
• Proteins help move large
•
•
molecules or aid in cell
recognition
Peripheral proteins are
attached on the surface
(inner or outer)
Integral proteins are
embedded completely
through the membrane

GLYCOPROTEINS
Recognize
“self”
Glycoproteins have carbohydrate tails to act
as markers for cell recognition

Cell Membrane in Plants
Cell membrane
• Lies immediately
against the cell
wall in plant cells
• Pushes out
against the cell
wall to maintain
cell shape

Cell Membrane Forming Spontaneously?!
Remember The Heterotroph
Hypothesis?
Two Forms Of Membrane
Transport
Concepts:
Equilibrium
Concentration
gradients
Polarity
Molecule size
Electrical Charge
Passive vs. Active
Passive Transport
Passive transport requires no energy!
Diffusion - Movement from [hi] to [low]
Osmosis - Diffusion of water
Facilitated Diffusion - with carrier proteins
Active Transport
Active transport requires energy
Ion Channels
Ion Pumps
Endocytosis
Phagocytosis
Pinocytosis
Exocytosis
