The phospholipid bilayer is the outer layer of the cell. It only lets very small molecules through it. The bigger ones will have to go through the proteins lodged in the bilayer and the HUGE molecules will have to perform exocytosis or endocytosis

What is another name for the phospholipid bilayer?
It depends on which lipid bilayer you're talking about. There is the phospholipid bilayer that surrounds eukaryotic cells, cholesterol phospholipid bilayers, protein lipid bilayers, phase transition lipid bilayer, lipid bilayer membrane...
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 are the specialized parts of the phospholipid bilayer?
The Phospholipid Bilayer is made up of phospholipids. These phospholipids have a hydrophillic head, and a hydrophobic tail. They are structured so that the hydrophillic head interacts with water, and the hydrophobic tails stays away from water, but mixes with fat. This makes the phospholipids form the phospholipid bilayer. The Phospholipid Bilayer has intrinsic proteins and extrinsic proteins attached, which may have glycoproteins attached to them. Glycolipids may also be attached to the hydrophillic heads of the phospholipid. Cholestrol is also part of the phospholipid bilayer, which adds strengh to the structure.
The interior of the phospholipid bilayer is?
Hydrophobic.
Where is water located in the phospholipid bilayer?
In the proteins
What is composed of phospholipid bilayer?
The Cell membrane
What compose of a phospholipid bilayer?
The Cell membrane
Which molecule among the following will not pass through the phospholipid bilayer of a membrane?
The molecule that will not pass through the phospholipid bilayer of a membrane is a large and polar molecule.
Is a phospholipid found in a plasma membrane?
Yes, that is why one of the membrane's names is, phospholipid bilayer.
Two-layer sandwich of molecules that surrounds an organella or cell is called a?
phospholipid bilayer If you need help with any other questions just email ( owlcityfan37@gmail.com )
Can polar molecules pass through the phospholipid bilayer?
Yes, polar molecules can pass through the phospholipid bilayer through facilitated diffusion or active transport.
A plasma membrane is made up of a?
A plasma membrane is made up of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins. The phospholipid bilayer forms a barrier between the cell and its environment, while the proteins help regulate the passage of molecules in and out of the cell.
