The semipermeable barrier made of two layers are called the Lipid Bilayer. They are in almost every living organism. The Hydrophilic heads are on the in and outside layer. Viruses are also made from the lipid bilayer and all of the membranes around the cell.

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 cell structure that synthesizes glycoproteins and phospholipids?
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
What is a phospholipid bilayer and where would you find it?
Phospholipids are polymers made up of two fatty acids, glycerol, a phosphate group and a polar molecule. A cell's membrane consists phospholipids where they form two layers (with the polar molecules facing opposite ends) to separate the interior of the cell from the outside environment. This is called a phospholipid bilayer.
What is the primary molecule of the cell membrane?
membrane lipid which is made up of phospholipids and glycolipids. both phospholipids and glycolipids makes up glycerolipid.
What is the other group that a phospholipids head made up of besides alcohol?
Glycerol:)
What do lipids have to do with the plasma mebrane?
The membrane is made up of a bilayer (two layers) of phospholipids.
What kind of barrier is keratin?
Keratin is a protein that your hair, nails and outer layers of your skin are made of. This is a protective barrier and water proof.
What is each phospholipid made up of?
Phospholipid heads are made of a glyceride with a phosphate group.
Does the cell membrane consist of two lipid layers?
The plasma membrane is made of a bilayer lipid membrane (phospholipids) with proteins that are present in a mosaic pattern. The membrane is semi fluid.
Where in eukaryotic cells is phospholipids made?
phospholipids are made in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
Which type of cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane made of two layers of phosphilipids and integrated proteins?
All living eukaryotic cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane made of two layers of phospholipids and integrated proteins. Prokaryotic cells also show this structure, but have additional layers of peptidoglycan and occasionally lipoproteins.
Cell membranes are made up of what?
cell membranes are made of of a lipid bilayer with proteins embeded in it. A lipid bilayer is two layers of phospholipids with the polar head on the surfaces and the nonpolar hydrocarbon tails in the middle
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.
Layers that make up the cell membrane?
The basic makeup of a cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer. Some other organisms make up the layer as well, but it is made primarily of phospholipids.
What is the plasma membrane made of?
Phospholipids.
Where are the phospholipids made?
In the Endoplasmic Reticulum
Cell membrane is made up of?
phospholipids
