1.3Membrane structure Flashcards
Learning objective 1._ learn to draw a plasma membrane structure.
Success criteria: _Diagram must show phospholipid bilayer _cholesterol _glycoproteins _glycolipids _integral and peripheral proteins _Use the term plasma membrane _membrane surrounding the cytoplasm
Learning objective 2._ Explain how hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties of phospholipids helps to maintain structure.
Success criteria:
Clear drawing of phospholipids.
Clear discription hydrophilic and hydrophobic means.
Plasma membrane_Objective_
Describe:
_structure
_Arrangement of phospholipids
What are membranes?_Function
_keeping cellular components inside the cell.
_Allowing selected molecules to move in and out the cell.
_Isolating organelles_Cytoplasm-allowing processes to occur separately.
_A site for biochemical reactions.
_Allows cells to change shape.
Disproven_Modal: Davson-Danielli modal
Problems:
_Membrane proteins vary greatly between different cells.\
_Unclear how proteins would allow for change in shape -without breaking bonds.
_Membrane proteins are hydrophobic and should not be found in aqueous cytoplasm or extracellular environment.
What membranes contain.
Phospholipids
Proteins
Carbohydrates
Cholesterol
Phospholipid
Type of Lipid
Lipid Groups_Oils_Fats_Triglycerides
Phosphate_The Head
Properties:
Phosphate _(Has a negative charge and is attracted to water) Glycerol
Characteristic:
Hydrophilic(water loving)
Polar(Uneven distribution)
Soluble(Mixes with water)
Phospholipid_The Tail
Properties:
Fatty acid
Characteristics:
Hydrophobic(Water hating)
insoluble(Will not mix with water)
