1 Phospholipids and Membrane Structure
Ms MacCormack

2 Function Plasma/Cell Membrane’s function is to maintain homeostasis
This is done by controlling what goes in and out of the cell. The plasma membrane is able to do this because of the membrane being selectively permeable.

3 Fluid Mosaic Model

4 Phospholipid bilayer = 2 layers of phospholipids

5 Phospholipid Structure
Polar Head ->Hydrophilic Nonpolar Tail -> Hydrophobic

6 Terms to Know Hydrophobic = water fearing Hydophilic = water loving
Polar Head = glycerol + phosphate Hydrophilic Nonpolar Tails = fatty acid tails hydrophobic

(Phospholipid Bilayer). The Cell Membrane is Semi-Permeable or Selectively Permeable. This means it only allows certain substances to enter/exit the cell.
