The Plasma membrane, which is also known as Cell Membrane, demarcates between the outer part and inner part of the cell, and it is a membrane found in all living beings' cells. The structure and components' division of Plasma Membrane is different for plant cells and animal cells, and a point to be noted here is that the structure and components of Plasma Membrane are different for different types of animal cells as well. In the exterior parts of plant cells, one can find a cell wall before the Plasma Membrane if talked about plant cells. And, Lipid molecules are observed before the Plasma Membrane if talking about the Bacterial Cell's Case. This layer of lipid molecules is also observed before the Plasma Membrane in many other animal cells, and it is a semipermeable layer. This layer is very important from the view of the Plasma Membrane as it is responsible for the transportation as well as regulations of materials inside the Plasma Membrane. Other than this, Plasma Membrane is also very important as it controls the in and out movement of the molecules inside a living cell, both large and small cells. All these materials found in Plasma Membrane made it composed of different types of constituents. This article talks about all general constituents of Plasma Membrane but before understanding all these constituents, let's have a look at the Fluid Mosaic Model of Plasma Membrane.
Fluid Mosaic Model
A new model of the plasma membrane was suggested by S.J. Singer and Garth L. Nicolson in the year 1972, which explained the plasma membrane's functions and microscopic examinations in a much better way than the previously proposed theories, and this theory is named the "fluid mosaic model ". With time, the model has evolved a little bit, and even so, it best describes the functions and structure of the plasma membrane as one now understands them. According to the fluid mosaic model, the plasma membrane is constituted of multiple components, such as phospholipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and cholesterol, which flow and change the site whilst keeping up the membrane's elementary integrity. Embedded proteins and phospholipid molecules move sideward to the membrane, and the fluidity of the plasma membrane is essential for the transport of the molecules and actions of the enzymes inside the cell.
Plasma membrane thickness is about 5- 10 nm. Human red blood cells, viewable through light microscopy, are nearly 8?m thick, or roughly 1,000 times thicker in comparison with a plasma membrane.
The components of plasma membranes are as follows:
