Structure of the plasma membrane The plasma membrane is mainly composed of: Phospholipids: These amphipathic molecules (having both a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic part) are organized into a double lipid layer. This structure gives the membrane its semi-permeable barrier property. Proteins: They are integrated into the lipid bilayer and perform various functions: transport of molecules, reception of signals, cellular recognition, etc. Carbohydrates: Linked to lipids (glycolipids) or proteins (glycoproteins), they play an important role in cell recognition and cellular interactions. Function of the plasma membrane Selective barrier: The plasma membrane allows the selective passage of certain molecules while preventing others. Transport: Membrane proteins provide passive (simple or facilitated diffusion) or active (pumps) transport of molecules across the membrane. Receiving signals: Membrane receptors allow the cell to detect and respond to signals from its environment. Cell recognition: Molecules present on the surface of the membrane allow cells to recognize and interact with each other. Maintenance of homeostasis: The plasma membrane helps maintain a stable intracellular environment by regulating exchanges between the cell and its environment. Properties of the plasma membrane Fluidity: The plasma membrane is not a rigid structure but rather fluid, which allows it to deform and change shape. Asymmetry: The two faces of the plasma membrane have different compositions, which gives the membrane polarity. Plasma membrane models Fluid mosaic model: This model, the most accepted, describes the membrane as a constantly changing mosaic of lipids and proteins.
