Cell MembraneKey ConCept The cell membrane is a barrier that separates a cell from the external environment.

Cell membranes are composed of two phospholipid layers.

The cell membrane is the package that a cell comes in. It is a thin layer that separates the inside of the cell from the outside of the cell. It controls what comes into and goes out of the cell. The cell membrane is made up of a double layer of phospholipids. A phospholipid is made of three parts: a phosphate group, a glycerol, and two fatty acid chains.

The phosphate group and glycerol make up the “head.” The fatty acids make up the “tail.” In the cell membrane, phospholipids are arranged tail-to-tail so that the heads face outward. The phosphate group has an electrical charge, so the heads on the outside are polar. They interact with water. All through the two layers of phospholip-ids are other molecules. Some are proteins; some are cholesterol; some are carbohydrates.

Fluid Mosaic Model Scientists have developed the fluid mosaic model to describe the cell membrane. The membrane is fluid because the phospholipids in each layer can move and slide. It acts like a film of oil on the surface of water. The membrane is like a mosaic because of all the different molecules embedded* among the phospholipids. Together, they look like a mosaic.

Selective permeability The cell membrane has selective permeability. This means that it allows some materials, but not all, to cross it, or permeate it. In other words, the cell membrane is semipermeable. You might own a semipermeable jacket. The jacket is waterproof; it does not allow water in from the outside. But water vapor from your sweat can exit through the fabric. Just like the jacket, a semipermeable cell membrane lets only some materials through.

In a cell, small nonpolar molecules can usually cross the mem-brane by themselves. Small polar molecules can be carried by proteins. Large molecules can be moved in vesicles.

Name another semipermeable object. What can pass through it? What cannot?

Chemical signals are transmitted across the cell membrane.

Cells are exposed to lots of signals. These signals may be mol-ecules in a cell’s environment. They may be molecules secreted by other cells. Or they may be molecules on the surface of another cell. How can a cell make sense of all these signals? Cells have receptors. A receptor is a protein that detects a signal and acts because of it. Only certain molecules will bind to a receptor. A cell responds to a signal only if it has a receptor for that signal.

When a receptor binds to a signal, it changes shape. As a result, the receptor interacts with other molecules in new ways. The binding between a receptor and its signal can set off a chain of events that will affect certain genes. The signal may cause the genes to make proteins, or it may cause the genes to stop making proteins.

A selectively permeable mem-brane allows some, but not all, molecules to cross.

Cells have receptors both inside the cell and in the cell membrane. Recall that some molecules can easily cross the cell membrane, but others cannot. Molecules that can cross the mem-brane bind to receptors inside the cell. Molecules that cannot cross the membrane bind to receptors in the membrane. When the signal binds to a receptor, the receptor changes its shape. Other molecules inside the cell respond to the changing shape of the receptor. The signal molecule itself never enters the cell.

How does a receptor in the membrane transmit a mes-sage to the cell?

cell membrane selective permeability

phospholipid receptor

fluid mosaic model

circle the correct word from the choices below.

1. Which material has selective permeability, a sponge or a shovel?

2. Which contains the other, cell membrane or phospholipid?

3. Which receives signals, a fluid mosaic model or a receptor?

4. What does the cell membrane do for the cell?

5. Describe how the phospholipids are arranged in the cell membrane.

6. Do cells respond to every signal? Explain.

7. Explain how a tea bag is an example of selective permeability.
