Document Summary

All cells have a plasma membrane (encloses contents of entire cell) Et al. lysosomes / vacuoles transport vesicles. Scaffold for biochemical activities (organization within eukaryotic cell) Phospholipids polar head group glycerol phosphotidyl serine (ps) phosphatidyl ethanolamine (pe) phosphatidyl inositol (pi) name of the phospholipid depends on the polar head group (should know names? prob) fatty acid chains pho sph ate all membrane lipids are amphipathic. Highly polar head will always be pointing on the outside (toward the water) cholesterol is major component in animal cell membranes (hydroxyl head group is not as dramatic as phosphate group; will orient itself according to it) All have fatty acids chains replaces old view of membranes, which was static sandwiches spinning on spot occurs constantly. Moving from leaflet to leaflet (but rarely flip flop between leaflets) Membrane does not rupture easily, moves to accommodate mechanical disruptions; takes a lot to pop a cell. Membrane fluidity how easily lipid molecules move within a membrane leaflet.
