Plasma Membrane
|
a flexible/sturdy barrier that surrounds and contians cytoplasm of cell
|
outermost component of the cell. Encloses, supports cell contents, attaches cells to each other to outside enviroment, communication and recognition of other cells, determines what moves into and out of cell, best described by using a structural model called the "Fluid Mosaic Model"
|
|
Intracellular
|
substances inside the plasma membrane
|
|
|
Extracellular
|
substances outside the plasma membrane
|
|
|
Glycolipids
|
lipid plus carbs
|
|
|
Membrane Lipids
|
provide function and basic structure of plasma membrane, responsible for some membrane function
|
3 main types:
1) Phospholipids 2) Cholesterol 3)Glycolipids |
|
Phospholipids
|
form lipid bylayer
|
double layer of phospholipids comprissing of plasma membrane; polar part is phosphate conataining "head" Hydropholic water loving
|
|
Cholesterol
|
other major lipid in membrane
|
amount in membrane determines fluidity of membrane
|
|
Glycolipids
|
serve as marker molecules
|
on membrane surface they allow cells to identify one another or other molecules
|
|
Membrane Proteins Terminology:
Intergral Proteins |
(with in) penetrate deeply into lipid bylayer commonly formed to end
|
|
|
Membrane Proteins terminology:
Peripheral Proteins |
(allong edges) not firmly embedded in membrane
|
|
|
Cell Identity Markers
|
membrane glycoproteins and glycolipids serve as cell markers
|
|
|
Attachment Sites
|
integral proteins serve as linkers, wich anchor proteins in Plasma membranes of neighboring cells
|
|
|
Channels
|
some integral membrane proteins form ion channels, pores or holes wivh ions can flow to get into/out of cell
|
|
|
Receptors
|
integral proteins serve as cellular recognition sights. Recognizes and binds specific types of molecules
|
|
|
Cell
|
basic living, structural, and functional unit of of the body
|
|
|
Cell Biology
|
the scientific study of cellular structure and function
|
|
|
Principal parts of a Cell
|
the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, the cellular contents between the plasma membrane and nucleus; and the nucleus
|
