What is the name of the phospholipid bilayer that surrounds the cell?

∙ 6y ago
Lipid bilayer is composed of two layers of fat cells organized in two sheets. It is typically about five nanometers thick and surrounds all cells providing the cell membrane structure.

What is a bilayer?
A lipid bilayer is a double layer membrane formed from phospholipids. Phospholipids are composed of a polar head group and non-polar fatty acid tails. The arrangement of the phospholipids makes the cell membrane permeable.
What is another name for phospholpids blayer?
The phospholipid bilayer is also referred to as the cell membrane or plasma membrane.
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 is another name for phospholipid bilayer?
fats.....lipids are commonly found in human cells to protect the organelles.
Name the PNS glial cell that surrounds dorsal root ganglion neurons?
satellite cell.
What is another name for the phospholipid bilayer?
It depends on which lipid bilayer you're talking about. There is the phospholipid bilayer that surrounds eukaryotic cells, cholesterol phospholipid bilayers, protein lipid bilayers, phase transition lipid bilayer, lipid bilayer membrane...
What is another name for the phospholipid?
Another name for the phospholipid bilayer is the plasma membrane or the cell membrane.

What is another name for phospholpids blayer?
The phospholipid bilayer is also referred to as the cell membrane or plasma membrane.
What is the layer that holds the parts of the cell together and controls movement of material into and out of the cell?
The phospholipid bilayer, to use the technical name for the cell membrane.
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).
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 is the function (job) of lipids?
That is just another name for the cell membrane. It's main job is to keep the things that are on the inside of a cell inside, and keep what things are outside the cell on the outside. It is also called a semipermeable membrane because it can allow some things, under certain situations, to cross the phospholipid bilayer to enter or exit the cell.The phsopholipid bilayer is the thin polar cell membrane comprised of two layers of lipids. This membrane surrounds a cell to keep substances (ions, proteins, etc) in or out of the cell, but also allow selected substances to pass through the cell membrane as required.
How may cell membranes does a double membrane organelle have?
The cell membrane is a lipid bilayer while the organelle membranes are usually a single layer of lipids. The nucleus, mitochondria and chloroplasts are the exception and have a lipid bilayer. AS you see, it depends on which organelle. The nucleus, mitochondria and chloroplasts have a bilayer (2). The others have one.
What membrane surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell?
The membrane around the cytoplasm is sometimes called the cell membrane. Another name for it is the plasma membrane.It is thought to consist of a double layer of lipids that contain phosphate groups (the phospholipid bilayer). Embedded in this layer are proteins with various functions, including transport (passive and active) of substances across the membrane, and recognition of hormones and growth factors. This concept of the cell membrane is known as the fluid mosaic model. In its essentials, it also applies to all membranes in eukaryotic cells.
What is the name of the cell proteins and a lipid bilayer barrier?
cell membrane
What is the name of the cellulose jacket that surrounds the protoplasm of a plant cell?
This is the cell wall. It surrounds the protoplasm of each individual cell.
