What are the component's of a cellular membrane?

Phospholipids, cholesterol and proteins mostly. The phospholipids will create a bilayer with their hydrophobic tails facing each other and hydrophilic heads towards either the cytoplasm of the cell or the outside of the cell. Cholesterol contributes to the flexibility of the membrane and keeping the phospholipids from sticking to each other. Proteins either serve as transportation, receptors, or identification.


What is the double layered structure surrounding all cells?

The double layered structure surrounding all cells is called the cell membrane or plasma membrane. It acts as a barrier to control the movement of substances in and out of the cell, helping to maintain cell integrity and regulate cellular processes.


Which type of molecule is found in the plasma membrane?

The plasma membrane is composed mostly of phospholipids


What are some of the other molecules in the plasma membrane?

The cell membrane is mostly composed of phospholipids, but also contains proteins, cholesterol, glycolipids and carbohydrates (mostly glycoproteins).


Do lipid molecules need phospholipid translocators to pass through cell membrane?

Lipid molecules are what make up the cellular membrane. Lipids are mostly composed of phospholipids creating a phospholipid bilayer. Each phospholipid has a polar head and a non polar tail. There are two layers of phospholipids composing the bilayer with non polar tails facing towards eachother. Each layer is known as a leaflet. The phospholipid translocators are designated to 'flip-flop' the phospholipids between each leaflet to increase fluidity of the membrane.


What are some tips about cheap cellular phones?

When buying cheap cellular phones, some important tips are that you aren't gonna get the top notch in today's technology, as with any piece of technology today, the higher price is mostly the better buy.


Where are phospholipids primarily found in the body?

The main component of cell membranes are made up of phospholipids. In fact, another name for the cell membrane is the phospholipid bilayer.


In eukaryotic cells where does cellular respiration mostly take place?

Which cell structure is made up mostly of a fluid?

Both plant and animal cells have cytoplasm (a thick fluid made mostly of water). These are botheukaryotes, the type of cell with organelles. Prokaryotes have no organelles, but include DNA, a cell wall, flagella (a tail), and cytoplasm. :)


Is it true or false that cellular respiration occurs mostly in a plants nucleus?

False. Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of plant cells, not in the nucleus. The mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through the process of cellular respiration.
