Document Summary

Essential outcomes membranes: transport and signalling: describe the structure and common components of eukaryotic membranes. The structure of membranes in eukaryotic membranes is consistent w/ the fluid mosaic model. Connected to the integral membrane proteins on the cytoplasmic portion of the membrane. The membrane is made up of a phospholipid bilayer that has proteins embedded in it, which float freely. Eukaryotic membranes consist of various proteins, and lipids which are involved in signal transduction, electron transport, and attachment: describe how the fluid mosaic model fits what is known about the plasma membrane with respect to membrane structure/characteristics. It is consistent with the model because phospholipids can spin and move laterally. Although the membrane is fluid, the structure is maintained by membrane proteins which are attached to the cytoskeleton. This model is supported by two major forms of evidence. This experiment proved that the membrane bilayer is fluid. Hang separately in the fluid lipid bilayer.

		The interior of phospholipid bilayers is a highly hydrophobic environment.
		Membrane budding requires transient breakages in the bilayer membrane.
