WHAT IS CELL MEMBRANE ? The cell membrane (also called the plasma membraneplasma membrane or plasmalemmaplasmalemma) is a biological membrane separating the interior of a cell from the outside environment It appears in thin sections with the electron microscope as a triple-layered structure about 7.5-10 nanometers thick Term coined by C.

Under physiological conditions, membranes are more fluid-like than gel-like. must be fluid for proper function Organisms Can Adjust the Membrane Composition Membrane fluidity is determined mainly by the fatty acid composition and melting point. More fluid membranes require shorter and more unsaturated fatty acids.

The fracture plane often follows the hydrophobic interior of a membrane, splitting the phospholipid bilayer into two separated layers. The membrane proteins go wholly with one of the layers. Extracellular layer Cytoplasmic layer APPLICATION A cell membrane can be split into its two layers, revealing the ultrastructure of the membrane's interior.

5. Functions of Membrane Proteins • Can be peripheral or integral • Ion channels - allow flow of ions in and out of cell • Carriers - selectively move POLAR substances across membrane (transporters) • Receptors - specific to various molecules - Ligand - substance that binds to receptor • Linkers - help anchor cells together by bonding proteins or filaments together.

Microfilaments or other elements of the cytoskeleton may be bonded to membrane proteins, a function that helps maintain cell shape and stabilizes the location of certain membrane proteins. Proteins that adhere to the ECM can coordinate extracellular and intracellular changes (see Figure 6.29). (d) (e) (f) Glyco- protein Figure 7.9. 19.

The plasma membrane is made up primarily of a bilayer of phospholipids with embedded proteins, carbohydrates, glycolipids, and glycoproteins, and, in animal cells, cholesterol. The amount of cholesterol in animal plasma membranes regulates the fluidity of the membrane and changes based on the temperature of the cell's environment.

Presentation Transcript. Chapter 7: Membrane Structure and Function. The Cell Membrane • It is a fluid mixture of proteins, lipids and some carbohydrates. • It has 2 layers which are composed of phospholipids. The Phospholipid Bilayer • Both sides of the bilayer are aqueous. • The phosphate part: hydrophilic and faces outward.

Biologists use a fluid mosaic model to describe a membrane. The kinky tails of many phospholipids, along with cholesterol, found in animal cell membranes, keep the molecules from packing tightly. Thus, the membrane remains fluid, and its components can drift about like party-goers elbowing their way through a crowded room.
