Structure of cell
membrane
Cell membrane
Who discovered structure of cell
membrane?
What are components of cell
membrane?
Type equation here.
Plasma membrane
structure is explained
by Fluid mosaic model
What is fluid mosaic
model?
Fluid mosaic model
 In 1972, S. Jonathan and Garth Nicolson
developed the fluid mosaic model.
 According to this model, a membrane is a double
layer of proteins and phospholipids
 Bilipid layer
 The word mosaic refers the different types of
proteins dispersed in phospholipids
Cell membrane is made up of?
proteins lipids carbohydrates
cholesterol phospholipids
Points of fluid mosaic model
Phospholipids:
One is polar end and other is non-polar end. The polar end
on the outer side of cell structure, where as non polar is
facing the middle of bilayer
The polar spherical heads are located over the surface of
cell these are water attracting (hydrophilic)
The tales inside the heads are nonpolar, these are
hydrophobic means water hatting.
Polar end
(hydrophilic)
Nonpolar end
(hydrophobic)
Cholesterol
 Molecules of cholesterol are embedded in the
interior side of membrane
 Helps to make the membrane less permeable to
water soluble substance
 Helps to provide rigid structure and stabilize the
membrane.
So you can see the cholesterol in
the cell membrane
Membrane proteins
 Peripheral proteins: Proteins which are attached
on outer membrane side
 Intrinsic proteins or Integral proteins: these
proteins are embedded in surface of cell
membrane
 Intrinsic proteins helps in the movement of ions in
and out of the cell through cell membrane
So you can see different types of
proteins in the structure of cell
membrane
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates in cell
membrane
 Carbohydrates are attached with the proteins
 These are known as Glyco-proteins
 Carbohydrates are attaches with lipids molecules
 These are known as Glyco-lipids
Information about glycocalyx
 Carbohydrates + proteins + lipids =
glycocalyx
 Glycocalyx is key component of cell act as
finger
print
 Helps in cell to cell recognization
