What is the important function of the phospholipids in the cell membrane?

They make up the plasma membrane and provide flexibility and protection to the plasma membrane. They also form a semi-permeable membrane, therefore making it easy for water to go in an out (osmosis).

The basic unit of the cell membrane is the?
Phospholipids.
What molecules form much of the cell membrane?
The cell membrane is composed mainly of lipids. Phospholipids to be precise.
What cell structures are made primarily from phospholipids?
cell membrane
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 most basic component of the cell membrane?
phospholipids
Phospholipids are important components of what?
Cell membrane
What characteristics of phospholipid is important to their function?
they have a polar head and non-polar tails
Which cell structure does phospholipid affect the function of?
The cell membrane and the membranes of all of their organelles are made of phospholipids.
How do phoshpolipids function in the human body?
The Phoshpholipid are the predominant lipids of cell membrane. They can act as anchors to cell proteins. Phospholipids can also exist out of cell membrane.
The basic unit of the cell membrane is the?
Phospholipids.
What molecules form much of the cell membrane?
The cell membrane is composed mainly of lipids. Phospholipids to be precise.
What cell structures are made primarily from phospholipids?
cell membrane
What molecule does cell membrane contain?
The cell membrane contains phospholipids.
Which components is the most important in determining the fluidity of the cell membrane?
phospholipids and cholesterols
What part of the cell are phospholipids found?
Phospholipids are usually found in the cell membrane of a cell (hence the alternate name for a cell membrane being the phospholipid bilayer).
The phospholipid bilayer that surrounds all cells?
The cell surrounding bi-lipid layer is called the cell membrane. Phospholipids - peanut butter - are associated with brain-cell membrane function.
Are phospholipid molecules found in the cell membrane?
Yes. A specific example, peanuts are considered Brain Food because they contain phospholipids, and this indicates that phospholipids are needed for healthy brain cell membrane function. Anyone with more polish to add to this?
