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
