•Plasma membrane (asymmetric) is derived from ER membrane (symmetric). How is a symmetric membrane converted into an asymmetric one?
•How might the asymmetric distribution of lipids in the plasma membrane contribute to its function?
1). Plasma membrane is the outer layer of cells, which surrounds the cytoplasm and regulates the movements of materials to and out of the cell. Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes contain plasma membrane and is a phospholipid bilayer. Within the phospholipid bilayer, proteins are embedded, according to fluid-mosaic model; the protein molecules embedded in the plasma membrane have a mosaic pattern.
Fluid mosaic model describes that two-dimensional lipid later of cell membrane where proteins are distributed like mosaic model in the phospholipid bilayer. This model is mostly accepted by biologists. According to this model, along the cell membrane, the proteins move laterally and the lipid distribution is asymmetrical. The "lipid asymmetry" in the membranes lipids is due to the different lipid compositions in the inner leaflet and the outer leaflet of a bilayer.
The synthesized phospholipids are initially inserted into the inner leaflet or inner monolayer, and those that constitute the outer monolayer are transported from the inner layer by means of flippases. The outer leaflet is rich in glycolipids. Outer leaflet is rich in glycolipids and the negatively charged phosphatidylserine (PS-) is uniformly distributed in the inner leaflets, which makes the inner leaflet more negative.

4. In the plasma membrane, phosphatidylcholine is predominantly in the outer leaflet and phospbatidylseting is predominantly in the inner leaflet. This means that there is high flippase activity for phospbatidylsetine there is high flippuse activity for phosphatidylcholine phosphatidylcholine inserted into the outer leaflet and phospbatidylsetine inserted into the inner leaflet phosphatidylcholine inserted into the pancytoplasmic side of the ER membrane 5.

What is the difference between a nuclear envelope and a plasma membrane? A nuclear envelope is made of two membranes, while the plasma membrane is a single membrane. A nuclear envelope does not contain membrane proteins, while the plasma membrane contains membrane proteins. There is no difference between a nuclear envelope and a plasma membrane A nuclear envelope allows water and gases to pass freely, while the plasma membrane does not. Which of the following is not a membrane-bound organelle?...
Which of the following correctly describe(s) the normal structures and functions of the plasma membrane, described by the fluid mosaic model? A.The type of transmembrane protein complexes that a cell has in its membrane determine which materials can be shuttled in and out of the cell if they are polar or large. B.glycoproteins contribute to the identification of cells C.the selective permeability of the plasma membrane is a function of the phospholipid bilayer D.amino acids embedded in the bilayer...

Exercise 3.2 (Symmetric and Asymmetric Encryption) t In this exercise, you will send an encrypted message from a socket client to a socket server. The message will be encrypted using AES symmetric encryption algorithm in the client. The server receives this ciphertext and decrypt it using the same symmetric key. Before communication over symmetric encryption, you need to first securely distribute the symmetric key between sender and receiver. You can use asymmetric encryption to help distribute the symmetric key. The...

Consider a membrane protein destined for the plasma membrane. From a hydropathy plot, you determine the protein has the following general structural elements: • • • 5 Trans-membrane domains (boxes 1-5) 6 soluble domains (wavy lines A-F) Flanking charges around trans-membrane domain 1. (A positive charge is towards the N-terminus, and a negative charge is towards the C-terminus.) You find that soluble domains B and E contain possible glycosylation sites. Ntorm in an ammo u arom...
Animals exploit the phospholipid asymmetry of their plasma membrane to distinguish between live cells and dead ones. When animal cells undergo a form of programmed cell death called apoptosis, phosphatidylserine-a phospholipid that is normally confined to the cytosolic monolayer of the plasma membrane-rapidly translocates to the extracellular, outer monolayer. The presence of phosphatidylserine on the cell surface serves as a signal that helps direct the rapid removal of the dead cell. How might a cell actively engineer this phospholipid redistribution?...
