Cell Membrane Fluid Mosaic Model: Cell membranes consist of a fluid formed by a phospholipid bilayer and a ?mosaic?, or patchwork, of proteins Phospholipid: Polar and hydrophilic head, nonpolar and hydrophobic fatty acid tail Cell membrane also called plasma membrane Outside the membrane there is interstitial fluid, which is a salty liquid Inside the membrane there is the cytosol, which is mostly water. The cytosol is also the water portion of the cytoplasm Phospholipid bilayer: Formed since the hydrophilic heads form hydrogen bonds with water, causing the heads to face the water on either side. Since the fatty acid tails are hydrophobic, they cluster together within the bilayer

Ch.7 ? Membrane What makes something alive? What do all living things have in common? Carbon based Cells DNA Living organisms 1.8 million known species 10-100 million estimates species 3 domains Bacteria Archea Eukarya Same basic components Cells ? lowest level of organization that can perform all activities required for life Eukaryotic ? nucleus & other membrane-bound structures Prokaryotic ? simpler, membrane & DNA Cells & tissues made from same set of chemicals Carbon Nitrogen Hydrogen Oxygen Organic molecules/nutrients cycle through organisms & environment All organisms transfer & transform energy to power cellular processes Living organisms have been around for billions of years Prokaryotes ? 3.5 billion years ago Eukaryotes ? 2 billion Multi-cellular life ? 1.2 billion

6.2 Eukaryotic Cells I. Eukaryotic cells include animal, plant, protest, and fungi cells. Prokaryotic cells include bacteria and archaea. A. Eukaryotic vs Prokaryotic 1. SMILARITIES a. bounded by plasma membrane b. within membrane is a semifluid substance called cytosol in which organelles are found c. chromosomes ? carrying genes in form of RNA/DNA d. ribosomes ? tiny organelles that make proteins from genes 2. DIFFERENCES Eukaryote Prokaryote - Nucleus (chromosomes) - Nucleoid (but no membrane separates it from rest of the cell)
