Cell membranes are way more complicated than you think - Nazzy Pakpour

View full lesson: ed.ted.com/lessons/cell-membr...
Cell membranes are structures of contradictions. These oily films are hundreds of times thinner than a strand of spider silk, yet strong enough to protect the delicate contents of life: the cell’s watery cytoplasm, genetic material, organelles, and all the molecules it needs to survive. How does the membrane work, and where does that strength come from? Nazzy Pakpour investigates.

[@amirhoseinkargar3733]

So i wonder how water could be exchanged throgh this fluid mosaic as a polarized molecule? I know it doess not cross through the channel proteins so is it through the phospholipid layer..if its a yes how? Because according to what you said polarized molecules cant go throgh the phospholipi layer ...and how a cell can maintain its osmolarity bythe way?

[@bbysy]

I happen to have an exam about this tomorrow😂 Thanks TEDEd😘

[@jimblauth3804]

Engaging and at a good level for high school to intro college, but has a few issues: 1) the model implies that the fatty acid tails of the phospholipids are covalently bonded to each other across the membrane interior (nope); 2) the narrator talks about cells communicating through sharing "chemicals and proteins" - chemicals is a generic word, and may confuse the viewer about proteins (and water, phospholipids, Na+, etc.) being chemicals; 3) the model shows three different solutes going through the same transmembrane protein in the same direction. Channel and carrier proteins are very specific as to which solutes they allow across the membrane (most commonly, only one per type of carrier or channel), and to my knowledge only two-different-solutes cotransporters (same direction) have been found to date. Just 'cuz I teach this stuff.

Cell menbrane are still more complicated than this when you start to study the numbers of proteins existent in different types of cells in especific tissues. Not to mention the video didn't exposured 5% of types of communication between cells (protein G receptors, MHC receptors,...)

[@madmonkee6757]

3:00 mark they seem to have placed water, a polar molecule, next to the charged molecule label (and I'm guessing a salt next to the polar label?). Of course, the illustrator may have intended some other, less well-known molecule that just happens to look like water.
