Quick Facts• Primary purpose is to maintain the internal environment of cells by regulating what goes in and what comes out.• Average width: 0.01μm• Primary components:
• Phospholipid bilayer• Protein molecules• Glycoproteins and glycolipids • Cholestrol: steroid that stabilizes the membrane
Phospholipids
Carbohydrate groups and ProteinsCarbohydrate
groups on glycoproteins and
glycolipids• Form antigen (label identifying cell as “self”)
Proteins• Facillitate the movement of substrate across the membrane
7-9nm thick (nucleus & ER membranes = 5-7nm)
All biological membranes are the same : fluid-mosaic model§ phospholipid bilayer, proteins, carbohydrates and cholesterol
Membranes are fluid structures - individual lipid molecules & some proteins move about within the layers
Phospholipids§ Hydrophobic tails will face away from water to form a monolayer or micelle (if tails
are short)§ Therefore membrane is impermeable to water soluble (polar) molecules
Proteins carry out most other membrane functions,§ they are located throughout the membrane (hence the term mosaic)§ can cross both layers OR be confined to one§ Provide channels for water-soluble molecules & ions to pass
Cholesterol (between the phospholipid molecules)§ makes the membrane less fluid & more stable
Carbohydrates are usually on the outer surface & linked to protruding proteins
Membranes
How does it regulate molecular transport?
Passive Transport• Diffusion• Osmosis• Facilitated diffusion (channel & carrier mediated)
Active Transport• Primary (uses chemical energy)• Secondary (uses electrochemical gradient)
Passive transport: Diffusion•Relies on molecules being small enough to pass through the semi-permeable membrane …• or in the case of channel-mediated diffusion, can be through a protein channel•Movement of molecules governed by the concentration gradient (high to low)•Diffusion ceases when balance is achieved•Diffusion animation
Passive transport: Osmosis• Occurs when molecules of a substrate are too large to pass through the semi-permeable membrane• Substrate molecules do not move, instead water crosses the membrane in order to achieve balance (low to high)• Diffusion ceases when balance is achieved• Osmosis animation
Solute
Solvent(eg. Water)
Passive transport: Facilitated diffusion•Molecules of substrate are unable to permeate the membrane but are instead transported through specialised protein channels.•Proteins change shape to facilitate movement•Molecules are transported along the concentration gradient (high to low)•Diffusion ceases when balance is achieved•Facilitated diffusion animation
Facilitated diffusion
Primary active transport•Active transport involves molecules moving against the concentration gradient•Molecules are transported along protein channels, proteins change shape to facilitate movement•Requires the input of energy in the form of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate)•Allows cell to retain ideal intracellular environment even when concentration of required ions in extracellular environment is low.•Primary active transport animation
Secondary active transport•Same purpose as in primary active transport except …•ATP is not required to power the protein pump.•Instead, energy is gained by moving another substance in or out of the cell, but along the concentration gradient.•A bit like a wind-up toy, an input of energy will result in the output of energy,•Secondary active transport animation
Bulk transport•Substrate can be moved in bulk by packaging it in a vesicle that either merges with the plasma membrane or breaks off from it.•Substrate exits the cell via EXOCYTOSIS•Substrate enters the cell via ENDOCYTOSIS, of which there are 3 types:
• Phagocytosis (taking in solids)• Pinocytotsis (taking in liquids)• Receptor mediated endocytosis
•Bulk transport animation
Endocytosis
Exocytosis
• Isotonic: (iso - same) surrounding fluid and cells internal fluid are of equal concentration
• Hypotonic: (hypo - lower) surrounding solution has a lower concentration than the cells.Water will diffuse through the membrane into the cells
• Hypertonic: (hyper - higher) surrounding solution has a higher concentration than the cells

nuclear membrane
Eukaryote’s nuclear envelope is a double membrane
Prokaryotes lack a nuclear envelope DNA contains encoded instructions for every aspect of an organisms existence; structure, function and behaviour
DNA granular until mitosis, then DNA becomes organised into chromosomes
Nucleolus/nucleoli = aggregation of RNANuclear pores to allow movement between nucleus and cytoplasm
Control centreNucleus
Produces chemical energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through the process of cellular respiration
Outer & inner membraneThe inner membrane contains many folds to provide a larger surface area for energy production
ATP produced by reactions on inner membrane

Other organelles
Cytoplasm
A ribosome on the ER assembles around the mRNA, every 3 nucleotides codes a particular amino acid
The protein is packaged in a transport vessicle and transported through the cell along the ER
How it all comes togetherProtein production to excretion
An mRNA copy of a gene on the DNA is made. This copy then travels out in to the cytosol
Proteins are concentrated and then packaged in to a secretory vessicle.
Vessicle floats through the cytosol before merging with the plasma membrane

• Very tough• Composed of proteins
Occluding (tight) junctionsCell membranes “come
together”Function:
• hold cell together• help to maintain polarity

Cell death via apoptosis is a normal part of the cell cycle
Failure to apoptose will result in uncontrolled growth and reproduction.
