What is another name for phospholpids blayer?

The phospholipid bilayer is also referred to as the cell membrane or plasma 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 is the name of the fluid phospholipid bilayer which determines what materials enter and exit the cell?

That is the name. Unless you have another name in mind. Sometimes it is called the fluid mosaic model or the cell membrane.


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.


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.
