Lesson
The Structural Component
1 of the Cell Membrane

You might think that the outer covering of a living cell is made up of an
equally tough and impenetrable barrier because it must protect its delicate internal
contents from the different unwanted materials from the outside environment. But
cells are separated from the outside environment by a thin, fragile structure called
the cell membrane that is only 5 to 10 nm wide. It is not just a simple border of the
cell, but it also allows the cell to interact with its environment in a controlled way.

What’s In

FACT or BLUFF

Direction Tell whether if the following information about the cell membrane
during cell division is a fact or bluff.

1. The cell membrane disintegrates during the late phase of mitosis.

2. Cytokinesis, the division of the cytoplasm, happen both in plant
and animal cells does not involve the cell membrane.
3. Cytokinesis in animal cells starts with the constriction in the cell
membrane during late anaphase or early telophase.
4. The cell membrane forms and create cleavage furrow that grows
deeper between the two cells until they pinch off and separate to
form two separate daughter cells.
5. In plant cells, cytokinesis involves the formation and insertion of a
new cell membrane that separate daughter nuclei after mitosis.

Notes to the Teacher

In this module, the students will do every task as required.
Students are given the opportunity to think and design for
themselves on how to undertake each activity. It is hoped that
this module help the students in the effort of considering their
individual learning style.

 What’s New

Identify the different components of the cell membrane using the description
given below. Use the appropriate number to locate each molecule.

1. Carbohydrate chain – 2 or more monosaccharide unit, either

attached or branched found on the outside surface of the cell
membrane.
2. Cholesterol – found between the hydrophobic tails of the membrane
phospholipid.
3. Glycolipid – carbohydrates attached to a lipid molecule.
4. Glycoprotein – carbohydrates attached to a protein molecule.
5. Integral Protein – protein embedded in the phospholipid bilayer that
extend in both layers of the membrane.
6. Lipid Tail – the hydrophobic tail of the phospholipid facing the core of
the membrane.
7. Peripheral Protein – protein found in the inner or outer surface of the
membrane but not embedded on hydrophobic core.
8. Phosphate Head – globular hydrophilic head of the membrane.

What is It

The Cell Membrane

Cell Membrane (also known as
plasma membrane) is a physical and
chemical barrier which separates the inside
and outside of the cell providing fixed
environment inside the cell. It is a bilayer of
lipid with embedded proteins, in which the
proteins and lipids. Figure 1. The cell membrane

10
The Structural Component of the Cell Membrane

The cell membrane is composed of three main components: lipids, proteins,

and carbohydrates. The ratio of lipids and proteins in the cell membrane is 1:1 or
50% lipids and 50% proteins. Membrane protein in the cell membrane is several
times larger than the lipid molecule, but lipid molecules are 50 times more than
protein molecules. The ratio is not absolute and varies from membrane to
membrane

Phospholipid Bilayer
The fundamental building block of cell membrane is the phospholipid which
is an amphipathic molecule, consisting of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic
regions. The hydrophilic or “water loving” (polar) region is the globular head
containing phosphate group; the hydrophobic or “water-fearing” (nonpolar) regions
are their fatty acid tails. The membrane lipids are organized into a continuous
bilayer in which the hydrophobic regions of the phospholipids are shielded from the
aqueous environment since it is poorly soluble in water and constitute a barrier
impenetrable to almost all substances, while the hydrophilic regions are exposed to
high water content region. Proteins are found inserted into this lipid bilayer and are
classified into integral proteins and peripheral proteins.

Figure 2. The Phospholipid Bilayer Figure 3. The Amphipathic nature of the phospholipid

It is also semi-permeable in nature, where it is impermeable to water-soluble

molecule but not to water. Approximately, the phospholipid to phospholipid
thickness of the cell membrane is about 5-10nm.

Protein
Protein, the second major component of the cell membrane is grouped into
three distinct classes depending on their relationship to the lipid bilayer.

11
Figure 4. The Membrane Proteins
 1. Integral proteins as their name suggests, integrated into the membrane
proteins that penetrate the lipid bilayer. They pass entirely through the
lipid bilayer and protrude from both the extracellular and cytoplasmic
sides of the cell membrane.

2. Peripheral proteins are membrane proteins that are associated within

the surface of the cell membrane and found either on the cytoplasmic or
extracellular side. Unlike integral protein, they do not stick into the
hydrophobic core of the membrane and they tend to be more loosely
attached.

Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are the third major component of the cell membrane. In
general, they are found on the outside surface of the cells and are bound either in
protein forming glycoproteins or to lipids forming glycolipids. These carbohydrates
may consist of 2-60 monosaccharide units and can either be straight or branched.

The Fluid Mosaic Model

The fluid mosaic model describes the cell membrane as several molecules
(phospholipid, cholesterol and proteins) that are constantly moving. This movement
helps the cell membrane maintains its role as a barrier between the inside and
outside of the cell environment.

The fluidity of a cell membrane depends on the lipid composition of the

membrane, the density of integral proteins, and the temperature. The fatty
acids and cholesterol play an important role in the fluidity of the cell membrane.

Figure 5. The Fluid Mosaic Model

12
Role of Fatty Acids
The structure of the fatty acid tails of the phospholipid is important in
determining how fluid is the membrane. Saturated fatty acids have no double
bonds, so they are relatively straight while unsaturated fatty acids contain one or
more double bond, often resulting in a bend or kink.

A long chain of saturated fatty acids have greater interactions among

themselves making the cell membrane stiffer. While more unsaturated fatty acids
in the lipid tails make the membrane becomes less tightly packed resulting to the
increase of the cell membrane fluidity. Thus, at cooler temperature the straight
tails of saturated fatty acids can pack tightly together, making a dense and fairly
rigid cell membrane while unsaturated fatty acid tails cannot pack together as
tightly because of the bent structure of the tails making the cell membrane to stay
fluid at lower temperature.

Role of Cholesterol
The presence of cholesterol in the membrane makes it possible for the cell
membrane to maintain its fluidity across a wide range of temperatures. It helps to
minimize the effects of temperature on fluidity. At low temperature, cholesterol
increases the fluidity by keeping the phospholipids from packing tightly together
while at high temperature, it reduces fluidity. In this way, cholesterol expands the
range of the temperatures at which a membrane maintains a functional healthy
fluidity.

The number of cholesterol molecules in the membrane can be as high as the

number of phospholipids. A high amount of cholesterol in the phospholipid bilayer
makes the cell membrane remains fluid. While having a high density of integral
proteins makes the cell membrane have less fluid.

The Importance of Membrane Fluidity

Membrane fluidity provides a perfect compromise between a rigid structure
which makes mobility absent and a completely fluid where mechanical support
would be lacking. It also allows interactions to take place within the membrane.
Because of membrane fluidity, molecules that interact can come together, carry out
the necessary reaction, and move apart.
Basic cellular processes, including cell movement, cell growth, cell division,
formation of intercellular junctions, secretion, and endocytosis, depend on the
fluidity of the cell membrane.
