Document Summary

Animal cells: extracellular matrix: for support and regulation, helps hold cells together in tissues, protects and supports the plasma membrane, cell junctions, tight junctions: prevent leakage of fluid across a layer of epithelial cells. Found in blood brain barrier and stomach: anchoring junction: fasten cells together into sheets, gap junctions: channels that allow small molecules to flow through protein-lined pores between cells. The plasma membrane: made of phospholipid bilayer. Phospholipids are amphipathic, with hydrophobic tail and hydrophilic head. These naturally come together to form vesicle shapes: membrane proteins also amphipathic, membrane contains glycoproteins (carbs attached to membrane protein) and glycolipids (carbs attached to lipid) Membranes vs. temperature: membranes must be fluid to work properly (as fluid as salad oil, as temperature decreases, membranes become more solid, composition of membrane determines at what temperature it solidifies. If many double bonds, many kinks, so very fluid.
