Document Summary

Cells and organelles need a barrier to separate internal and external contents. Needs to keep the internal environment very different: ability to exchange molecules/ions between compartments. Also allows for larger molecules to move across the membrane this could be things like glucose, which is used for energy: senses signals and allows for a response. Receptors in the membrane: channels between cells that allow them to interact. A permeability barrier that consists of: phospholipids, glycolipids, sterols (except in bacteria) Span the membrane allow for connection from exterior and interior of cell: peripheral membrane proteins. Primary molecules that make up biological membranes. Amphipathic molecules: phosphate containing hydrophilic head groups, hydrophobic fatty acid (hydrocarbon chain) tails. Straight tail is single bonds saturated. Bent tail has one double bond mono unsaturated. These tails can also have different combinations of carbon bonds. Fatty acids can also be different lengths. There can be different head groups: different percentages of components in different membranes.
