Cell Membranes & Walls
Types of Cells
Prokaryotes
• Archaebacteria
• Eubacteria *
Eukaryotes
• Plants *
• Animals *
• Fungi
• Protists
Why do cells have a membranes/walls?
Functions of Cell Membrane 4
• Separates & protects cell from its
surrounding environment
• Protein molecules inside the cell membrane
act as channels & pumps that move different
molecules into & out of the cell.
• Receptor proteins in cell membrane allow
cells to detect external signaling molecules
such as hormones
Evolution of Cell Membrane 4
Current Theory:
1st prokaryotic cell membrane was a single layer of lipids
Phospholipid
• Hydrophilic Head (Polar) : Polar Group + Phosphate +
Glyerol
• Hydrophobic Tail (Non Polar) : 2 Fatty Acid Chains
To Try...
1. Use a disposable pipet to place a drop of water on the 2
different kinds of spoons
2. Sketch & Describe what you see
Phospholipid Bilayer
When phospholipids are placed in water they usually form a
sphere.
To Try...
1. Fill a petri dish halfway with water
2. Use a disposable pipet to drop oil onto the water
3. Sketch and describe your observations
Modern Bacteria Cell Membrane
Phospoholipid Bilayer
Cell Membrane Proteins
Protein functions:
• Transport nutrients, waste, gases, etc.
• Chemical Receptors for the cell
Cell Membrane Characteristics
• Semi-permeable: the membrane allows the movement of
some, but not all particles
Cell Membrane Characteristics
Fluid Mosaic Model: it is a lot of small components that
together make the cell membrane

Bacteria Cells 7
Gram Positive & Gram Negative Cell Wall & Membrane
Bacteria Cells
Gram Positive: Phospholipid Bilayer + Thick Cell Wall (Peptidoglycan)
Gram Negative: Phospholipid Bilayer + Thin Cell Wall + Phospholipid
Bilayer
Gram-positive Cell Wall
8&9
• Cell Wall: made of peptidoglycan (murein) = polymer of
sugars & amino acids
• Cell Membrane: Phospholipid Bilayer is made of phoshates
and lipid molecules
Gram-Negative Cell Wall
What is different?
Gram Staining
Protocol:
1) Apply a primary stain (crystal violet or methylene blue) to
bacteria
2) Add Mordant (Gram's iodine) & let stand for 10-60 seconds,
then pour off excess
3) Rapid decolorization w/ alcohol or acetone, rinse after 5
seconds (TIME CRUCIAL)
4) Counterstain w/ safranin or basic fuchsin for 40- 60 seconds,
wash excess
Gram Staining
Gram Staining
Gram Positive: Purple
Gram Negative: Pink
Endosymbiotic Theory 5
Organelles orginated as seperate prokaryotic organisms which
were taken inside the cell as endosymbionts
• Mitochondria developed from proteobacteria
• Chloroplasts evolved from cyanobacteria
Endosymbiotic Theory 6
Eukaryotic Cell Membrane 1
Eukaryotic Cell Membrane 2
What is similar between this cell membrane and the bacterial
cell membrane?
Plant Cell Wall 10
Cell Wall
• thick & rigid
• prevents enlargement of the plant cell
• helps the plant absorb, transport, & secrete substances

Cell Membranes are like Bubbles...
Challenge:
1. Get a paper clip through the bubble without popping the
bubble
2. Get a pencil through the bubble without getting it wet
Soap Membrane
How does the soap membrane compare to the cell membrane?
Soap in Action
Captures the lipid
