Main components of cytoplasmic membrane (4)
Bi layer phospholipids
Proteins (integral & peripheral)
Carbohydrate chains
glycoproteins and cholesterol
What type of cells do not contain glycoproteins & cholesterol?
Bacteria, except for mycoplasmas
Hydrophilic head
Hydrophobic tail
Polar (water soluble)
No polar (insoluble)
Carbohydrate chain
Glycoprotein
Phospholipid bilayer
Protein
Cholesterol
Cytoskeleton filaments
Functions of the membrane (3)
energy reactions
nutrient processing
synthesis
What is the major action of the cytoplasmic membrane?
regulate transport
the passage of nutrients into the cell and the discharge of wastes
transport
How can you describe the membrane?
selectively permeable
Can inhibit the passage of large molecules, but they are not the primary transport apparatuses
glycocalyx.
Being semipermeable means what molecules are allowed to pass?
Water and small uncharged
How do bacteria carry out cellular respiration and ATP synthesis with the lack of mitochondria
using PROTEINS embedded in their membrane
