Chapter 4: Cell Membrane Structure and Function

Chapter 4:Cell Membrane Structure and FunctionChapter 4: Membrane Structure and FunctionPlasma Membrane : Thin barrier separating inside of cell(cytoplasm) from outside environmentFunction:1) Isolate cell s contents from outside environment2) Regulate exchange of substances between inside andoutside of cell 3) Communicate with other cellsNote: Membranes also exist within cells forming various compartments where different biochemical processes occurThe Fluid Mosaic Model of Cellular Membranes: Chapter 4: Membrane Structure and FunctionPhospholipid Bilayer: Double layer ofphospholipids Hydrophilic ends form outer border Hydrophobic tails form inner layer Lipid tails of phospholipidsare unsaturated (C = C) Chapter 4: Membrane Structure and FunctionCell Membrane Proteins:1) Transport Proteins: Regulate movement of hydrophilic molecules throughmembraneA) Channel Proteins( Na+channels)B) Carrier Proteins( glucose transporter)2) Receptor Proteins: Trigger cell activity when molecule from outsideenvironment binds to protein3) Recognition Proteins: Allow cells to recognize / attach to one another Glycoproteins: Proteins with attached carbohydrategroups Chapter 4: Membrane Structure and FunctionHow are Substances Transported Across Membranes

Chapter 4: Membrane Structure and Function Types of Movement Across Membranes: 1) Passive Transport • Requires no energy • Substances move down concentration gradients A) Simple Diffusion • Small molecules pass directly through the phospholipid by-layer (e.g. CO 2, H 2O, O 2) (Figure 4.3a) Rate depends on: 1) Molecule size 2 ...
