Document Summary

Chapter 5 cell membranes & signalling our current view of membrane structure. Plant cells have cell wall, central vacuole, chloroplast. Proteins embedded or attached to the membrane perform membrane functions (transport, signalling etc. ) plasma membrane: allows for uptake of key nutrients and elimination of waste products whiule maintaining a protected environment for cellular processes to occur. Proposes that membranes are fluid, molecules not locked into place, lipid molecules the consistency of olive oil. Peripheral proteins are attached to integral proteins or membrane lipids on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane. Model is asymmetric: one half of the lipid bilayer is different than the components that make up the other half. Contains an assortment of proteins: integral protein (transport), glycoprotein, peripheral protein (linking microtubule to membrane) (cid:0) mosaic part. Proteins involved in transport, attachment, signal transduction, electron transport. Fluids move more slowly in fluid b/c they"re larger than lipid molecules. Membrane structure according to the fluid mosaic model.
