7.2 The Plasma/Cell Membrane

Thin, flexible boundary between the cell and its environment

Allows nutrients into the cell and wastes to leave.

Chapter 7 Cellular Structure and Function

Composed of the phospholipid bilayer. Consists of a glycerol backbone, two fatty acid

chains, and a phosphate group.

Chapter 7 Cellular Structure and Function

Selective Permeability or semi-permeable Lets some things in but not others. Sugars are

too big. Ex.-fish net, coffee filter See picture p. 187

Chapter 7 Cellular Structure and Function

Fluid Mosaic Model

The phospholipid bilayer allows other molecules (proteins, carbs, and cholesterol) to "float" in the membrane.

Chapter 7 Cellular Structure and Function

Proteins Transmit signals inside the cell Act as a support structure Provide pathways for substances to enter and leave-

like sugars.

Chapter 7 Cellular Structure and Function

Carbohydrates Identify chemical signals

Cell Structure and Function
