Molecules that make the membrane
Structure of the membrane
Properties of membrane
Cell membrane OR
plasma membrane
• Separates the cell
from its surroundings
• Selectively
permeable-allow
some substances to
cross easily than
others
Bread and butter sandwich
• If I pour water on top of this
sandwich, what will happen?
Phospholipid bilayer
• Phospholipids have
hydrophilic heads and
hydrophobic tails.
• Hydrophilic –loves water
• Hydrophobic-fears

• Phospholipids and soap
molecules are similar
• Soap contain just one layerHydrophobic and hydrophilic
• They are fluid and resealableself repair

Types of protein
• The proteins and lipids
can shift laterally
• Some proteins move
more slowly and some
are anchored in place
• Integral proteins penetrate the hydrophobic interior of the
lipid bilayer
• Integral proteins that span the membrane are called
transmembrane proteins
• Peripheral proteins are loosely bound to the surface of the
membrane

Effect of temperature
At cold-cell membrane switch
from fluid to solid
At warm temperature –
movement of phospholipids
becomes unrestrained.
Role of cholesterol
• At cold temperature,
cholesterol maintains the
fluidity by preventing tight
packing
Role of cholesterol
• At warm temperature (such as
37°C) cholesterol restrains the
movement of phospholipids
