Cell Membrane
Brief History 
•The cell wall was 
discovered by Robert 
Hooke in 1665.
Structure 
• Cell wall is a rough, 
generally flexible layer that 
surrounds some types of 
cells. It is situated outside 
the cell membrane.
Major Regions of 
the Cell Wall 
•middle lamella 
•primary wall 
• secondary wall
Cellulose 
• Cell walls are made of 
specialized sugars called 
cellulose. 
• Cellulose is called a structural 
carbohydrate (complex sugar) 
because it is used in protection 
and support.
Cross Linking 
Glycans 
• Diverse group of carbohydrates that 
used to be called hemicellulose. 
• Play a major role in maintaining the 
structural integrity of the wall by 
their tight association with cellulose 
microfibrils.
Peptic 
Polysaccharides 
• determining wall porosity 
• providing a charged wall surface 
for cell-cell adhesion 
• cell-cell recognition 
• pathogen recognition and others.
Proteins 
• The proteins may serve as 
the scaffolding used to 
construct the other wall 
components.
Lignin 
• Lignin is primarily a 
strengthening agent in 
the wall. It also resists 
fungal/pathogen attack.
Suberin, wax, cutin 
• A variety of lipids are 
associated with the wall for 
strength and 
waterproofing.
Water 
• Comprise 75-80% of the 
cell wall. 
• Determines the flexibility 
and extensibility of the 
wall.
Functions of the 
Cell Wall 
• maintaining/determining cell shape 
• support and mechanical strength 
• prevents the cell membrane from bursting 
• controls cell growth and cell volume 
• physical barrier 
• carbohydrate storage 
• signaling
Brief History 
• In 1855, C. Naegeli and 
C.Cramer describe the cell 
membrane as a barrier 
essential to explain osmosis in 
plant cells.
The Cell Membrane 
• Also known as the plasma membrane is a 
biological membrane that separates the 
interior of all cells from the outside 
environment. 
• The cell membrane is selectively 
permeable to ions and organic molecules 
and controls the movement of 
substances in and out of cells.
Structure
Components of 
the Cell 
Membrane
Lipids 
• Insoluable, fatty materials the cell 
can use to construct membranes 
• Help to give membranes their 
flexibility. 
• Used as energy source in the 
form of fats.
Proteins 
• Proteins maintain and monitor the cell’s 
chemical climate and assist in the 
transfer of molecules across the 
membrane. 
• Cell adhesion molecules allow cells to 
identify each other and interact.
Functions 
• surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell. 
• protect the integrity of the interior of 
the cell 
• serves as a base of attachment for 
the cytoskeleton 
• serves to help support the cell and 
help maintain its shape.
