The basic structure of cell membranes is a phospholipid bilayer.
Phospholipids have a phosphate group (the head) and a lipid tail.

Which type of transport occurs when a membrane protein binds to a molecule on one side of the cell membrane and then releases it on the other side?
well daa its facilitated diffusion :] -Aime-
What is a type of protein found in the cell membrane which regulates the coming and going of substances into or out of the cell?
Membrane Protein
What boundary structure physically defines a cell?
Plasma membrane A cell membrane, cellular envelope, or cell wall, depending on the type of cell.
Is a thick outer covering outside the cell membrane?
Well, it depends on what type of cell you are talking about. If it's an animal cell, the outer covering would be the cell membrane. In a plant cell, the outermost one is the cell wall, then the cell membrane.
What type of molecule makes up the bi-layer of a cell membrane?
This membrane is called the fluid mosaic model as it is a mixture of phospholipids, cholesterol, proteins and carbohydrates. Most of the membrane is composed of phospholipid molecules. These allow the membrane to be rather fluid.Embedded in this membrane are proteins which give some structure to the membrane. The 3rd components are proteins or glycolipids. Cholesterol is also found in the membrane. It prevents lower temperatures from inhibiting the fluidity of the membrane and prevents higher temperatures from increasing fluidity.
Which type of molecule explains the properties of the cell membrane?
phospholipid
What type of molecule can be used as a tunnel to move compounds across the cell membrane?
Lipid molecule
What forms an outsind boundry on a cell?
cell wall or cell membrane depending on what type of cell
What type of cell forms the serous membrane?
It Is Basically Cells
What is the type of molecule that makes up the bilyaer of the cell membrane?
It's called a phospholipid.
What type of molecule acts as a gate for substances to enter or leave the cell?
plasma membrane
Which type of molecule will require some amount of energy to cross the cell membrane?
passive
Which type of transport occurs when a membrane protein binds to a molecule on one side of the cell membrane then releases it on the other side?
facilitated diffusion is the type of membrane that occurs in protein binds. This is when molecule goes to one side.Edit : fixed the wrong answer
