, cell membrane structure



said model
mosaic


fluid mosaic model describes the structure of the plasma membrane as a mosaic of

phospholipids;cholesterol;proteins;carbohydrates thatgives the membrane a fluid
character



fluid' area is due to phospholipid bilayer
mosaic area is made up of various proteins;carbohydrates;lipid molecules that

punctuate membranes



plasma membrane is permeable, defining the boarders cells and
partially of mostorganelles
-




partially permeable-

means the membrane controls the movement ofmaterials freely
into or outof the cell




phospholipide

arrange themselves into a sun-lonm thick bilayer
contains 1 molecule
glycerol
contains 2 fatty acids, which are hydrophobic so face inwards in the bilayer
contains phosphate
1 -
linked head group, which are hydrophilic so face outwards
in the bilayer
