What lipid forms the framework of the cell membrane?
The lipid that forms the framework of the cell membrane are phospholipids. Phospholipids are composed of two fatty acids, a glycerol unit, a phosphate group, and a polar molecule.
What part of the cell membrane make up the phospholipid bilayer?
Phosholipids are composed of a glycerol backbone, 2 fatty acids, and a phosphate group. Two fatty acid chains are attached to the first 2 carbon molecules of the glycerol chain. The 3rd carbon of the glycerol backbone is attached to a phosphate group.
What macromolecules make up the cell membrane?
The cell membrane is composed of a bilayer of phospholipids, which are composed of a glycerol molecule chemically combined with a polar hydrophilic phosphate head and two hydrophobic fatty acid tails.
What structure controls the passage of substances into and out of the cell?
cell membrane
Where is the cell control center and the cell membrane?
where is the cell control membrane and the cell membrane
What lipid forms the framework of the cell membrane?
The lipid that forms the framework of the cell membrane are phospholipids. Phospholipids are composed of two fatty acids, a glycerol unit, a phosphate group, and a polar molecule.
Is the cell membrane permeable to glycerol?
No. Permeability of glycerol through plasma membrane= (approx) 1.9 x 10^-9 m/sec Permeability of water through plasma membrane = 2.0 x 10^-6 m/sec

What does morphene and codeine do to cell membrane?
Morphine and codeine have no effect on the cell membrane. Their effects are mediated through interactions with genes and TFs.
The effect of acid on the cell membrane?
The same as the effect of acid on your skin. It breaks down and seperates.
What is cell aberration?
It is and effect on a cell negatively. it can be multinuclearity, membrane blebbing, vacuolization, giantism and cellular distortion
What regulates passage of materials into and out of cells?
The cell membrane controls movement of materials in and out of the cell.
Which cell structure controls what enters and leaves the cell?
The selective permeability of the cell membrane
What cell structures are made primarily from phospholipids?
cell membrane
What is the effect of the NaCL 0.3 percent in red blood cell?
WATER movies across the cell membrane by Osmosis
How does alcohol effect the cell membrane of onions?
The cell membrane is made up of a phospolipid bilayer, and these phospholipids are soluble in ethanol. Therefore, the membrane will be broken down (?). This increases the permeability of the cell membrane.
