Where is cell membrane found in?
in the lipid bylayer between the phospholipid molecules
In a plasma membrane how do the tails of the phospholipid molecules lineup?
they are sandwiched between two layers of heads
In a plasma membrane how do tails of the phospholipid molecules line up?
they are sandwiched between two layers of heads
What process transports particles that move through cell membrane between phospholipid molecules?
Osmosis, Passive Transport, and Active Transport
Do lipid molecules need phospholipid translocators to pass through cell membrane?
Lipid molecules are what make up the cellular membrane. Lipids are mostly composed of phospholipids creating a phospholipid bilayer. Each phospholipid has a polar head and a non polar tail. There are two layers of phospholipids composing the bilayer with non polar tails facing towards eachother. Each layer is known as a leaflet. The phospholipid translocators are designated to 'flip-flop' the phospholipids between each leaflet to increase fluidity of the membrane.

What is the difference between fat and phospholipid?
the "phospho" part. fat=lipid To be more specific, a fat is composed of glycerol (an alcohol) and fatty acids (triglycerides). A phospholipid has a hydrophobic tail, and a hydrophilic phosphate group. Think of a phospholipid as a glycerol molecule attached to a long chain of fatty acids dangling off to the right. (depending on perspective) Connected to the top of the glycerol molecule is a phosphate group, which is water loving. There is also an additional polar group. -R
Barrier between the inside of the cell and it's environment?
the cell membrane which is made up of a phospholipid bilayer.

What does a phospholipid that covers a cell's surface and acts as a barrier between the inside of a cell and the cell's environment?
cell membrane i hate science lol.
The cell membrane is made up of phospholipids which are molecules?
The cell membrane is made of a phospholipid bilayer with the hydrophilic ends out and the hydrophobic ends in. There are globular proteins in between the bilayer that assist in transport.
What types molecules are present in cell membrane?
The cell membrane is composed of different kinds of molecules. The phospholipid chains surround the cell and is what the cell membrane is primarily made of. Around the cell, you can also find proteins embedded on or all the way through the cell. This protein helps large molecules from outside the cell or inside the cell to go in or out. Between the phospholipid is also cholesterol which helps the cell membrane fluidity. This all being said, there are three things that make up the cell membrane: # The phospholipid bilayer # The protein inside and outside the cell # cholesterol between some phospholipid chains.
The cell membrane and the nuclear membrane are made of?
the cell membrane, also known as the plasm membrane, forms a boundary between a cell and the enviroment and is made of a double layer of phospholipids. A phospholipid is made of a charged phosphate group, a glycerol, and two fatty acid chains.
