Cell Membrane Discovery
Big Idea: Cells move materials in and out of their environment through the cell membrane in order to
maintain
(balance) or
(equal state).
Composition of the Cell Membrane & Functions:
The cell membrane is also called the
membrane and is made of a
phospholipid
The phospholipids have a
(water
attracting or polar) head and two
(water repelling or non-polar)
The head of a phospholipid is made of an alcohol and phosphate group,
while the tails are 2 chains of fatty acids. Phospholipids can move apart and allow water and
other
molecules to pass through into or out of the cell. This is known as simple
because it does not require
and the molecules are moving
from areas of
concentration to an area of
concentration.
1. LABEL a phospholipid bilayer coloring the heads red and the tails blue. 2. LABEL the structure that is hydrophobic
and hydrophilic.
PHOSPHOLIPID
molecule
membrane
Another type of lipid in the cell membrane is
that makes the membrane
more stable. Embedded in the phospholipid bilayer are
that also aid in
diffusion and in cell transport. Proteins called
_proteins go all the way
through the bilayer. They allow large molecules like
and
to
move across cell membranes. Some of the membrane proteins have carbohydrate receptors (look like chains)
attached on the surface that are involved in cell recognition and ABO antigens on blood cells (blood type).
