Endomembrane System This system controls the process of making proteins specified by the DNA in the nucleus and includes the organelles of the smooth ER, rough ER, and golgi apparatus. *Although ribosomes make proteins, it is not included in this system because it is not a membrane bound organelle and just composed of RNA and proteins.

Gavin Morgan 10/9/2015 Chapter 5 2-Point Notes The fluid mosaic model shows proteins embedded in a fluid lipid bilayer: 1. The lipid layer that forms the foundation of a cell?s membranes is a bilayer formed of phospholipids. 2. Globular proteins are inserted into the lipid bilayer, with their nonpolar segments in contact with the nonpolar interior of the bilayer and their polar portions protruding out from the membrane surface. Cellular membranes consist of four component groups: 1. A eukaryotic cell contains many membranes. 2. Cell membranes are assembled from: Phospholipid bilayers, transmembrane proteins, interior protein networks, and cell-surface markers.

A Tour of the Cell Chapter 6 Overview: The Fundamental Units of Life All organisms are made of cells The cell is the simplest collection of matter that can be alive Cell structure is correlated to cellular function All cells are related by their descent from earlier cells ? 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 6.1 Concept 6.1: Biologists use microscopes and the tools of biochemistry to study cells Though usually too small to be seen by the unaided eye, cells can be complex ? 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Microscopy Scientists use microscopes to visualize cells too small to see with the naked eye In a light microscope (LM), visible light is passed through a specimen and then through glass lenses Lenses refract (bend) the light, so that the image is magnified

Membrane Structure and Function Chapter 7 Overview: Life at the Edge The plasma membrane is the boundary that separates the living cell from its surroundings The plasma membrane exhibits selective permeability, allowing some substances to cross it more easily than others ? 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 7.1 Concept 7.1: Cellular membranes are fluid mosaics of lipids and proteins Phospholipids are the most abundant lipid in the plasma membrane Phospholipids are amphipathic molecules, containing hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions The fluid mosaic model states that a membrane is a fluid structure with a ?mosaic? of various proteins embedded in it ? 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

The large molecules of all living things fall into just four main classes. Name them. 2. Explain what is meant when we say a molecule is amphipathic. 3. In the 1960s, the Davson-Danielli model of membrane structure was widely accepted. Describe this model and then cite two lines of evidence that were inconsistent with it. 4. Who proposed the fluid mosaic model of membrane structure? When? Describe this model.

Campbell's Biology, 9e (Reece et al.) Chapter 7 Membrane Structure and Function Membranes and membrane transport are fundamental to cellular life. The concepts in this chapter require integration of concepts from previous chapters: the nature of water and hydrophobic versus hydrophilic molecules, the properties of lipid molecules and their role in regulating membrane fluidity, and the roles of proteins and carbohydrates in membrane function. The concepts of ion transport and electrochemical gradients across membranes are important foundations for the following chapters on energy metabolism. Finally, the bulk transport phenomena have important clinical significance in the immune system, during invasion by pathogens, and in cell signaling. Multiple-Choice Questions

Cell Membranes Contents: Structure: the basics Fluid mosaic model/freeze fracture technique Membrane fluidity Membrane fluidity and cholesterol The Basics? The plasma membrane separates the living cell from its surroundings Phospholipids make up the majority of the bilayer Phospholipids consists of a hydrophilic phosphate head and two hydrophobic fatty acid tails Phospholipids are amphipathic molecules: containing both a hydrophilic and hydrophobic region The plasma membrane is described by the fluid mosaic model: The membrane is fluid with a variety of ?mosaic? proteins embedded in it The plasma membrane is selectively permeable: Small fat soluble (hydrophobic ? non polar) molecules, can enter the cell through the lipid bilayer (this occurs rapidly) e.g. hydrocarbons
