The cell membrane is primarily composed of lipids and proteins that form a fluid bilayer. It was first described in 1855 as an essential barrier for osmosis in plant cells. The fluid mosaic model from 1972 proposed that the membrane acts as a two-dimensional liquid allowing free diffusion of lipid and protein molecules. The membrane maintains the shape of the cell, separates the cytoplasm from the external environment, and allows for selective transport of materials across it.

The Cell Membrane
The cell membrane regulates the movement of materials in and out of the cell through diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion, and active transport. It is composed of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins. Membrane proteins come in two types - integral proteins that span the membrane and peripheral proteins attached to the surface. Carbohydrates on membrane proteins and lipids aid in cell recognition. The fluid mosaic model describes membranes as fluid structures that allow lipids and proteins to move laterally.
Cell membrane bch405 mic_3
The cell membrane is composed of a bilayer of lipids and embedded proteins. The lipid bilayer provides structural organization with phospholipids as the major component. Proteins constitute 25-75% of the membrane mass and carry out specific functions. The membrane is selectively permeable due to transport proteins that regulate the passage of molecules. Transport proteins include channel proteins that form pores and carrier proteins that selectively bind molecules. In addition to transport, membrane proteins are involved in cell recognition, cell adhesion, and cell signaling.
The plasma membrane and material transport
The plasma membrane maintains the internal environment of cells through selective permeability. It is composed of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded and attached proteins. Molecules move across the membrane via diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, active transport, and endocytosis/exocytosis. These processes allow for the exchange of materials while maintaining different internal and external compositions.
Plasma membrane
The plasma membrane encloses the cytoplasm of the cell and separates the interior from the exterior. It is made of a phospholipid bilayer with hydrophilic heads facing out and hydrophobic tails facing in. There are two models that describe its structure - the Danielli-Davson model proposes it is a static rigid bilayer coated with proteins, while the fluid mosaic model proposed by Singer and Nicolson describes it as a dynamic fluid system with proteins and other components embedded within the bilayer. The plasma membrane controls what enters and exits the cell, acts as a barrier to separate the internal and external environments, and performs various transport and signaling functions through its integral proteins.

Cell membrane
The cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer 7.5nm thick that envelops the cell. It is composed of phospholipids, cholesterol, and integral and peripheral proteins arranged in a fluid mosaic structure. The cell membrane is selectively permeable and uses three mechanisms for transport - passive diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport, and vesicular transport. Vesicular transport involves endocytosis which brings contents into the cell, and exocytosis which releases contents from the cell.
Plasma membrane
The plasma membrane is a selectively permeable membrane that surrounds the cell. It is composed of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins. The fluid mosaic model from 1972 describes the plasma membrane as a fluid bilayer with integral proteins embedded within it, peripheral proteins attached to its surface, and lipid-anchored proteins.

Endocytosis and exocytosis allow bulk transport across the membrane through vesicles.
Biological membranes
Biological membranes are composed of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins. They define the boundaries of cells and organelles, and are selectively permeable, allowing passage of some molecules but not others. This selective permeability is important for maintaining concentration gradients between intracellular and extracellular fluid. Membranes contain proteins that function as pumps, channels, and receptors, and are involved in processes like active transport and endocytosis. Membranes are fluid and allow lateral movement of proteins and lipids, but retain an asymmetric composition between inner and outer surfaces.

Cell membrane
The cell membrane, also known as the phospholipid bilayer, separates the interior of the cell from its surroundings and controls the movement of substances in and out. It is composed of phospholipids, which have a hydrophilic phosphate head and hydrophobic fatty acid tails. The phospholipids spontaneously form a bilayer with the heads facing out and tails shielded inside. This structure allows for selective transport of molecules. Transport can occur passively via simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion through transport proteins, or actively against the concentration gradient using energy from ATP. Active transport is required for ions like sodium and potassium. Larger substances use endocytosis to enter and exocytosis to exit the cell enclosed in vesicles.
Membrane Structures and Functions
The document provides an overview of membrane structure and function:
1. It describes the fluid mosaic model of the plasma membrane, which explains that membranes are composed of a bilayer of phospholipids embedded with integral and peripheral proteins that give the membrane a fluid structure.

Cell membrane and transport mechanisms
The cell membrane regulates the movement of materials into and out of cells through passive and active transport mechanisms. Passive transport, including simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion, moves molecules down their concentration gradients without requiring energy. Active transport uses transmembrane proteins like ion pumps and transporters to move molecules against their gradients, requiring energy in the form of ATP. Large molecules and particles are transported into and out of cells through endocytosis and exocytosis. The fluid mosaic model describes the structure of the cell membrane as a phospholipid bilayer with integral and peripheral membrane proteins that allow it to perform its functions of protection, selective permeability, and transport.

3. Plant cells have additional structures that animal cells lack, including a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a central vacuole. The cell wall provides structure and protection, while chloroplasts and vacuoles play important roles in photosynthesis, water storage, and other functions.
cell wall cell membrane.pptx
The plant cell wall is a complex structure outside the cell membrane that provides structure and protection to the cell. It is made up of three main layers - the middle lamella, primary cell wall, and secondary cell wall. The primary cell wall is thin and elastic in young cells, and contains cellulose fibrils, hemicellulose, and pectin. As the cell matures, the secondary cell wall is deposited between the primary cell wall and cell contents. It is rigid and made mostly of cellulose and lignin. Together, the cell wall layers strengthen the plant body and play important roles in growth, differentiation, and defense.

This allows the membrane to be fluid and flexible. Membrane proteins can be intrinsic, spanning the membrane, or extrinsic, attached to one surface. Together, the lipids and proteins allow the selective control of what enters and exits the cell.
Cell Membrane Structure and Function.ppt
The plasma membrane is selectively permeable and allows some substances to pass through more easily than others. It contains phospholipids arranged in a bilayer with hydrophobic tails interacting in the middle and hydrophilic heads facing outwards. Embedded proteins can be integral and span the entire membrane or peripheral and attach to surface. The fluid mosaic model describes the membrane as a fluid structure with phospholipids and proteins able to move laterally. Transport across the membrane can be passive via diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion or active via protein pumps and requires cell energy. Endocytosis and exocytosis involve vesicle transport across the membrane.
Biology 189 the_cell_spring_2012.ppt
The document discusses the structure and function of cells. It covers several key points:
1) Cells are the fundamental unit of life, and there are two main types - prokaryotic cells which lack membrane-bound organelles, and eukaryotic cells which do have organelles like the nucleus.
2) Both cell types contain ribosomes for protein synthesis, but eukaryotic cells also contain other membrane-bound structures like the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, vacuoles, and lysosomes which carry out specialized functions.
3) The plasma membrane regulates what enters and exits the cell, and the cytoskeleton provides structure and allows movement within the cell
Cytology
Cytology is the study of cells. The cell theory states that all living things are made up of cells, new cells are formed via cell division of pre-existing cells, and cells contain hereditary materials. Cytology examines cell structures, functions, and interactions, and is important for understanding diseases. The cell membrane forms the boundary of cells and allows selective transport of materials through proteins and pores. The fluid mosaic model describes the cell membrane as a fluid bilayer of phospholipids with embedded proteins that give it a mosaic-like structure.
3.0 Cell Structure and function (2).pptx

CONCLUSION
REFRENCE
All living organisms on Earth are divided in pieces
called cells. There are smaller pieces to cells that
include proteins and organelles. There are also larger
pieces called tissues and systems. Cells are small
compartments that hold all of the biological
equipment necessary to keep an organism alive and
successful on Earth.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Cell Membrane Presentation
- 1. Cell Membrane Daniel Mawhirter 2 Green
- 2. History 1855 - C. Naegeli and C. Cramer describe cell membrane as barrier essential to explain osmosis in plant cells
- 3. History (Continued) 1972 – The fluid mosaic model was created by S. J. Singer and Garth Nicolson, and stated that cell membranes can be considered as a two-dimensional liquid where all lipid and protein molecules diffuse freely
- 4. Structure
- 5. Structure (Continued) Primarily lipids and proteins Unsaturated/Saturated changes rigidity Polar, usually rejects ions, hormones, ion channels Proteins stretch through, integral proteins Cellular communication/recognition
- 6. Location In an animal cell, outermost layer In a plant cell, just inside cell wall Present in both
- 7. Function The lipid bilayer provides rigidity, maintaining the shape of the cell Materials that can be dissolved in water pass through the membrane via osmosis Other materials rely on ion channels to move through
- 8. Interactions Works with the cytoskeleton, structure Ribosomes produce proteins that are then inserted into a lipid bilayer of their own by the endoplasmic reticulum and transported to the cell membrane by a vesicle, where both are absorbed into the cell membrane
- 9. Efficiency and Effectiveness Seperates the cytoplasm from the extracellular environment Allows materials to be transported across it If the cell membrane were not there, it wouldn’t make sense to call it a cell, more of a soup that flows around mixing with its surroundings and spreading out.
