They move somewhat like a liquid. The move throught the membrane but stick together. Also, their hydrophilic heads always stick outside, and the hydorphobic tails always stay inside.

Which ions are permeable to phospholipids that make up the plasma membrane?
which ions are permeable to phospholipids that make up the plasma membrane
What are the molecules in the plasma membrane made of?
phospholipids are the molecules that make up the plasma membrane and they are made of polar (hydrophilic) heads and 2 non-polar (hydrophobic) tails
What is the outermost component of all cells?
The outermost living part of a cell is the cell membrane. The cell membrane regulates what comes into the cell and what goes out of the cell. It is composed of a double layer of phospholipids and proteins.
If a tiny hole is made in a plasma membrane it usually heals immediately and no harm results What property of the plasma membrane allows this?
The plasma membrane forms the external boundary of the cytoplasm of a cell. The fluid property of its lipid bilayer allows a tiny hole to heal.
What do phospholipids make up?
Phospholipids are a major component of the cell membrane.

What type of Phospholipids that make up the plasma membrane?
the one in plasma membrane
What is a double layer of these molecules that make up the plasma membrane?
Phospholipids.
What 2 molecules make up the cell membrane?
The plasma membrane is flexible and is made up of organic molecules called lipids and proteins .
What are the molecules in the plasma membrane made of?
phospholipids are the molecules that make up the plasma membrane and they are made of polar (hydrophilic) heads and 2 non-polar (hydrophobic) tails
What 2 fat-based molecules make up part of the structure of the plasma membrane?
phospholipid and cholesterol

The plasma membrane forms the external boundary of the cytoplasm of a cell. The fluid property of its lipid bilayer allows a tiny hole to heal.
What is the important function of the phospholipids in the cell membrane?
They make up the plasma membrane and provide flexibility and protection to the plasma membrane. They also form a semi-permeable membrane, therefore making it easy for water to go in an out (osmosis).
What do phospholipids make up?
Phospholipids are a major component of the cell membrane.
Phospholipids and proteins are used to make cell?
membrane
What protein acts like stiffner in microvilli?
Integral protein. They wedge themselves into the phospholipids that make up part of the plasma membrane. The other type of protein is peripheral protein but it sits on the outside of the membrane.
