Talk:Cell membrane/to do

Under the Composition section, my group and I have a few proposed additions of content. -Provide the proportions of each of the three major lipids in the plasma membrane. (The Cell: A Molecular Approach. 2nd Ed. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK9898/) -Add examples of integral proteins with functions (Molecular Biology of the Cell. 4th Ed. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK26878/) -Mention in composition intro that composition is not set, but constantly changing for fluidity and changes in the environment, even fluctuating during different stages of cell development. (Assessment of Membrane Fluidity Fluctuations during Cellular Development Reveals Time and Cell Type Specificity. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4928918/) -Adding explanation of what a carbohydrate is and what it offers to the cell membrane function, as well as adding a link to homing receptor. (Cell-surface carbohydrates in cell recognition and response. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3011937) [User:Cottrill41|Cottrill41]] (talk) 19:08, 4 October 2017 (UTC)Cameron Cottrill, Deena Dahshan, Kaitlin Stiltner, Haylie Bryant


 * Under the Variation section, our group will be adding the variations of cell membrane structures for different organelles. We will focus on origin and structure of various organelles. We will be adding information regrading chloroplast and mitochondrial membranes including the endosymbiosis theory. For the following organelles we will add details for variation in structure of membrane: the ER, the golgi apparatus, the nucleus and the mitochondria/chloroplasts.SoniaChandi (talk) 19:51, 9 October 2017 (UTC)(Group: Sonia Chandi, Jacob Lingenfelter, Zach Mitchell, Greg Taylor)

Under the history section, my group and I believe that there should be some additional content. Even though there is an article about the history of the cell membrane linked to the history section, we believe there should be some additional information added to this page such as a timeline and brief description of various models of the cell membrane and important figures that played a vital role in the determination of the structure of the cell membrane. We would focus on the origin of the cell theory and the evolution of the current fluid mosaic model of the plasma membrane which is widely accepted today. These additions would not only be important for historical relevance, but would be an adequate starting point for describing the significance of plasma membranes in various organisms.

Under the Prokaryotes section, our group plans to provide further information on the structures and functions of prokaryotic cell membranes (for example, lipid rafts and integral outer membrane proteins), and to describe how these differ from those of eukaryotes. We plan to discuss other types of prokaryotes in addition to bacteria, to include gram-positive bacteria as well as gram-negative. We also plan to add links to terms in the section which have not been defined, such as "bleb", and we proposed moving the Prokaryote section to the bottom of the page in order to present all the other relevant information about membranes before discussing them in the context of organisms.
