The Cell Membrane
and Movements of
Molecules

The Plasma Membrane


The Plasma Membrane (aka cell
membrane)
 Boundary between the cell and its
environment
 Controls what enters and leaves the
cell--- performing homeostasis
 Has selective permeability- the ability
to allow some molecules through the
membrane -but not others
(aka semi-permeability)

Water

Plasma Membrane Structure

Fluid Mosaic Model
describes the structure of the plasma
membrane
 Fluid: Phospholipids
 Polar head- loves water
 2 Fatty acid tails- avoid water


Fluid Mosaic Model


Phospholipids in water form a
double layer “sandwich” with tails
pointing in

Fluid Mosaic Model


The sandwich forms a hollow
sphere with an inside and an
outside

Fluid Mosaic Model


The phospholipids are considered
“fluid” because they can move
throughout the membrane.
