The plasma membrane is a bilayer of lipid molecules with protein molecues embedded True or False?
Jsnrll
it depends on what you are referring to. the lipid bilayer is exactly what it says.
it is two layers compsed of lipids. lipid molecules have two properties: a hydophobi tail and a hydrophilic head. so when the bi layer is put together, it has the tails facing eachter and the heads out to react with water conditions in the body. the membrane is also embedded with proteins of all dffierent kinds that allows ions to cross and this allows for cell communication

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 is a Phospholipid Bilayer made of?
Lipid bilayers are made up of phospholipids that have variable head groups and fatty acid chains. This lipid bilayer is known as amphipathic, meaning the hydrophilic head region of the lipid molecule is polar while the hydrophobic tail regions are non-polar. The electrical conductance of the lipid bilayer is very low, lower even than thin glass. The lipid bilayer acts as a very good electrical insulator and has direct bearing on the way in which the proteins embedded in the lipid bilayer will behave. Researchers have shown the bilayer has conductance orders of magnitude lower than that measured in the cell membrane. Demonstrating that the conductance is not performed across the lipid bilayer, it is the proteins embedded in the bilayer which perform that function.
What molecules can pass phospholipid bilayer?
Non ionized molecule pass through the lipid bilayer faster than ionized molecules because of the hydrophobic portion of the lipid bilayer. non ionized molecules are ex glucose ionized molecute Na, K

What is the phYSICAL parts of cell membrain?
The cell membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer and proteins, which are embedded in the bilayer.
What is aquaporins?
Aquaporins are protein molecules embedded in the phospholipid bilayer (cell membrane ) of some cells. They transport water across the cell membrane.
Cell membrane made up of?
Phospholipid bilayer and embedded proteins and sugars
