The major component of the cell membrane?
The two major components of the cell membrane are the phospholipid bilayer and proteins.
What are three components of the plasma membrane?
phospholipid bilayer, channel proteins, and carbohydrate chains
What components of the plasma membrane is described by the fluid mosaic model?
embedded in a lipid bilayer
What is the basic structure of the plasma membrane?
The framework of the cell membrane is formed by the lipid bilayer. The lipid bilayer is composed of two layers of fat cells organized in two sheets. This is what provides the barrier that makes the boundaries of the cell.
How is the plasma membrane a bilayer stucture?
It's between two proteins

What are the parts of a phosholipid molecue?
prooto
What components of the plasma membrane is described by the fluid mosaic model?
embedded in a lipid bilayer
What are two layers of phospholipid?
two layers of phospholipids form foundation of biological cell membranes.
What makes up the membrane of a cell?
The membrane of a cell is basically made up of a mixture of lipids and proteins. The other components of a membrane of a cell are phospholipids and glycoproteins.
What is the definition of a bilayer?
One of two layers.
What is the bilayer compose of?
Two layers of phospholipids.
What is the basic structure of the plasma membrane?
The framework of the cell membrane is formed by the lipid bilayer. The lipid bilayer is composed of two layers of fat cells organized in two sheets. This is what provides the barrier that makes the boundaries of the cell.
What provides support for cell and has two subparts?
The cells is what supports on one thing. The one thing that the cell supports is the lipid bilayer.
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 is a double layer of phospholipids?
A cell's membrane (plasma membrane) is made of a phospholipid bilayer where the hydrophillic phosphate groups form the two outer sides of the bilayer and the hydrophobic fatty acid chains are the interior.
