What else can I help you with?
In a plasma membrane how do the tails of the phospholipid molecules lineup?
they are sandwiched between two layers of heads
Which model did scientist develop to describe the cell membrane?
the cell is a phospholipid bilayer. this means that there are 2 layers of phospholipids with hydrophobic tails and hydrophilic heads.
What are the 2 main parts of the cell membrane?
The two main parts of the cell membrane are phospholipid bilayer and membrane proteins. The phospholipid bilayer forms the basic structure of the membrane, while membrane proteins are embedded within or attached to the bilayer, playing crucial roles in cell communication and transport.
What part of the cell membrane make up the phospholipid bilayer?
Phosholipids are composed of a glycerol backbone, 2 fatty acids, and a phosphate group. Two fatty acid chains are attached to the first 2 carbon molecules of the glycerol chain. The 3rd carbon of the glycerol backbone is attached to a phosphate group.
What is the role of bilayer?
1. selectively permeable2. tunnel proteins3. carrier of ions4. maintain the extracellular and intracellular net charge5. changes extracellular signals into intercellular.

How many layers is a bilayer?
I dont know for sure, but bi meaning 2 im sure it would be 2 layers

What is the cell membrane's composed of?
composed of a phospholipid bilayer, which has 2 layers of phospholipids back-to-back

How many layers make up a cell membrane?
two. biphospholipid. bi (meaning two) phospho (refering to the phosphorous group) lipid (fatty acid). the plasma membrane of a cells consists of two layers of phospholipids. now go look it up yourself and make sure this is correct instead of relying on a stranger.

What is found in a membrane?
phospholipid biolayer is the membrane it self. the protein is what gets stick in the membrane. protein In context of unit membrane, it consists of a fluid mosaic of phosphoplipid bilayer and proteins. A phospholipid bilayer is made up of two layers of phospholipids with their non-polar tails facing away from the aqueous environment and polar heads towards the aqueous environment. They make up 40% of the membrane. Proteins make up 60% of the membrane and are of two types: 1. Integral proteins 2. Peripheral proteins There can also be presence of cholesterol molecules in the membrane in the hydrophobic region.

Is the nuclear envelope composed of two bilayers?
There are two phospholipid bilayers that are present in the nuclear envelope. They are the inner and outer phospholipid bilayers. Nuclear envelope are also referred to as karyotheca, nucleolemma or nuclear membrane.
Why is plasma membrane called a lipid bilayer and a fluid mosaic model?
It is often called the cell membrane because it is made up of phospholipid bilayers. It is also often called the plasma membrane. Each phospholipid joins together at the hydrophilic head, leaving the hydrophobic tail on the inside, and forming a bilayer.
