    3.3 Cell Membrane

    Uploaded by

    Hanaa Wazzan
    The document describes the structure and function of the cell membrane. It discusses how the cell membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer with a polar phosphate head and nonpolar fatty acid tails. This structure makes the cell membrane selectively permeable, allowing small nonpolar molecules to pass through while blocking polar molecules like water. The fluid mosaic model is also described, which explains the cell membrane as a flexible structure with multiple components.

    The Cell Membrane
    The Plasma Membrane
    Objective Success Criteria
    • Describe the structure and 1. Identify the structure of the
    function of the cell membrane. cell membrane.
    2. Discover the functions of the
    different parts of the cell
    membrane.
    3. Investigate the causes &
    effects of disorders linked to
    cell membrane malfunction.
    • Cell membranes are composed of two phospholipid layers.
    – The cell membrane has two major functions.
    • forms a boundary between inside and outside of the cell
    • controls passage of materials

    outside cell
    cell membrane

    inside cell
    • Cell membranes are composed of two phospholipid layers.
    – The cell membrane is made of a phospholipid bilayer.
    – There are other molecules embedded in the membrane.

    • Structure of the Phospholipid bilayer
    • Hydrophilic part VS hydrophobic part
    • Selective permeability
    • Fluid mosaic model
    • Cholesterol/ proteins / carbohydrates
    embedded in the cell membrane
    • The phosphate head is polar and is attracted to water.
    – The head is water ‘loving’ = HYDRO - PHILIC
    • The fatty acid tails are nonpolar and are repelled by
    water.
    Phosphate – The tail is water ‘hating’ = HYDRO - PHOBIC

    Selective Permeability
    Lipid Bilayer: Selectively Permeable
    • Selective = actively chooses among variables
    • Permeable = can allow things to pass through
    • The cell membrane will allow only select molecules directly through.

    • Only small, nonpolar substances can pass.


    • This feature makes the membrane SELECTIVELY PERMIABLE, or allowing only
    SELECTED substances to cross into the cell.
    • This is also called “semi=permeable”
    Polar Molecules, like water, are
    repelled by the polar heads of
    the phospholipid bilayer.

    Other non-polar
    molecules, like
    carbon dioxide or
    oxygen, are not
    repelled and
    allowed to flow
    through the bilayer.
    Because they are …
    NONPOLAR.
    The fluid mosaic model describes the cell membrane.

    FLUID = Flexible

    MOSAIC = Multiple
    components forming it.
