Learning Objectives. outline the roles of membranes within cells and at the surface of cells. state that plasma (cell surface) membranes are partially permeable barriers. describe, with the aid of diagrams, the fluid mosaic model of membrane structure. DR AMINA TARIQ. BIOCHEMISTRY. Survival of a multicellular organism depends on their ability to adapt to the constantly changing environment.. Intercellular communication mechanisms are necessary for this adaptation.. Organisms. can function normally only if:. All the cells of their different organs communicating effectively with their surroundings. . Once a cell picks up a hormonal or sensory signal, it must transmit this information from the surface to the interior parts of the cell—. Signal transduction . General features of signal transduction. Type of cell signalling. Type of Signal . transducer/Receptors. signal transduction. T. he . signal. . represents the information, . that is detected by specific . Receptor. A receptor is a protein molecule usually embedded within the cell membrane with part of its structure exposed on the outside of the cell.. The protein surface is a complicated shape containing hollows, ravines, and ridges.. Dr . Amena. . Rahim. Biochemistry. Biomedical Importance. Intercellular communication mechanisms are necessary requirements for this adaptation. . The nervous system and the endocrine system provide this intercellular, organism-wide communication. . How was it discovered?. http://. ed.ted.com. /lessons/insights-into-cell-membranes-via-dish-detergent-ethan-perlstein#watch. The Plasma Membrane. What is the plasma membrane?. Flexible, sturdy barrier of the cell.. Plasma membranes :. Membranes. cover the surface of every cell and also surround most organelles within cells. They have a number of functions, such as:. keeping all cellular components inside the cell. Introduction. Cell signaling: . a biological mechanism that occurs in cells which gives cells an ability to receive or generate the signals in response to their surrounding environment.. Cell to cell communication . Module 1: Components a nd Architecture o f Cell Membrane Learning objectives: In this module, prime focus is mainly on the plasma membrane, however, majority of the concepts discussed below are also Dr. Mohammed Hussein.

As with people, it is vital for individual cells to be able to interact with their environment. In order to properly respond to externals stimuli, cells have developed complex mechanisms of communication that can receive a message, transfer the information across the plasma membrane, and produce changes within the cell in response to the message. The ability of cells to communicate through chemical signals originated in single cells and was essential for the evolution of multicellular organisms.
