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 |
