Fat is the main component of?
Fats are major constituents of cell membranes.
How the cell membrane is important to the health of a cell?
The fat on the out side
Is it true that carbohydrates also make a part of the cell membrane?
No, carbohydrates are NOT a major components of cell membranes, which are mainly comprised of lipid (fat molecules). Proteins sit in and on the membrane and SOME of the proteins are glycosylated, which means that they have sugar or carbohydrate attached to them. So there are carbohydrates in cell membranes, but they are not a major component.
Which nutrient is a key component in cell membranes neurons and certain hormones?
FAT
What is found inside cell membrane?
Cells membranes are made of a phospholipid bilayer. Phospholipids are tiny structures that have a hydrophilic (water-loving) "head" and a hydrophobic (fat-loving) tail. As i mentioned before, they are in a bilayer, so there are two rows of them that make up the membrane. The heads go towards the outside of the membrane, and the tails tend toward the fatty centre. Therefore, in the inside of cell membrane you would find lipids, or fats, and the "tails" of the phospholipids.
Is fat is the primary component of every cell membrane?
yes
Fat is the main component of?
Fats are major constituents of cell membranes.
How the cell membrane is important to the health of a cell?
The fat on the out side
What is the outer boundary of an animal cell called?
The outer boundary of a general animal cell is the cell membrane.
Why can molecules that are fat-soluble permeate across a cell membrane?
Cell membranes are composed of a lipid bilayer. Cellular fluid (cytosol) and the cell's organelles are contained by the cell's membrane, which is composed of a lipid bilayer. Lipids are a type of fat. Because a cell's membrane is composed of fat, only fat-soluble molecules are able to dissolve through the membrane into the cytosol.
What does a cell membrane for a plant?
A thin layer of protein and fat that surrounds the cell.
Molecules can pass through the cell membrane of the human cell?
The molecules that can pass through the cell membrane of the human cell include water. Other molecules include fat soluble vitamins.

Which nutrient is a key component in cell membranes neurons and certain hormones?
FAT
What Is a cell's main source of energy.?
A cell's main souce of energy is glucose.
Does fats maintain your cell membrane?
yes - cell membranes are composed of a type of fat known as a phospholipid. That is why some fat is necessary in a person's diet.
