In this model many membranes can move freely although some are anchored in place
Fluid Mosaic Model
What are the two major components of the cellular membrane
1. Phosphilipds
2. Proteins
This is amphipathic, most abundant part of the plasma membrane and for lipid bilayers
Phospholipids
Are amphipathic, 2nd most abundant part of plasma protein and have an intergral and peripheral
Proeteins
Some substances can cross the membrane while some cannot, the cell controls what enters and leaves it.
selective permeability
Individual molecules remain in close association yet have the ability to move within the membrane
Fluidity
Most lipids can rotate freely around their long axes and move laterally within the membrane
semifluid
transverse movement of lipids from one leaflet to the opposite and does not occur spontaneously, requires ATP
flip- flop
name 3 factors affecting membrane fluidity
1. Length of phospholipid fatty acyl tail
2. presence of Double bonds in unsaturated phospholipid acyl tail
3. presence of cholestrol
