Best Answer

Yes. A specific example, peanuts are considered Brain Food because they contain phospholipids, and this indicates that phospholipids are needed for healthy brain cell membrane function.

Anyone with more polish to add to this?

The plasma membrane is present in all prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. It is the semi-permeable membrane that encloses the cell. So to clearly answer your question, the plasma membrane is found on the outside of the cell; it encircles the cell.

The double layer of phospholipids is called a what?

The double layer of phospholipids is called the phospholipid bilayer. It forms the basis of every membrane, both the plasma membrane and all internal membranes.The idea that the bilayer has protein molecules embedded in it is the essence of the fluid mosaic model of the cell membrane.

What types molecules are present in cell membrane?

The cell membrane is composed of different kinds of molecules. The phospholipid chains surround the cell and is what the cell membrane is primarily made of. Around the cell, you can also find proteins embedded on or all the way through the cell. This protein helps large molecules from outside the cell or inside the cell to go in or out. Between the phospholipid is also cholesterol which helps the cell membrane fluidity. This all being said, there are three things that make up the cell membrane: # The phospholipid bilayer # The protein inside and outside the cell # cholesterol between some phospholipid chains.
