1 Membrane Structure

2 Review: Phospholipid structure and properties *amphipathic

3 Membrane Models: 1935 Today Cell biology at work: membranes “uncovered” *Membranes are fluid

4 Membranes are fluid

5 *Some functions of membrane proteins: Transport Enzymatic activity Signal transduction Intercellular junction Cell recognition Anchors

6 Membrane Transport *Channel protein *Carrier protein

7 Traffic across membranes *Passive transport *Active transport Passive transport *Selective permeability *Diffusion

8 Osmosis is the passive transport of water When comparing two solutions: *hypertonic *hypotonic *isotonic

9 Passive transport Facilitated diffusion Channel proteins and carrier proteins *Each cell membrane has characteristic set of carrier proteins

10 *Active transport Example: sodium-potassium pump

11 Electrogenic pump: *Some ion pumps generate voltage across membranes *Voltage *Membrane potential
