A cellular membrane — including plasma membrane and internal membrane — is made of glycerophospholipids, molecules composed of glycerol, a phosphate group, and two fatty acid chains.

it is composed of a phospholipid bilayer with the hydrophilic/polar heads of the phospholipids facing outward and the hydrophobic/nonpolar tails facing inward. there is an array of amphipathic proteins used in cell-to-cell recognition, transport via passive or active transport, etc. there are glycoproteins mainly facing the extracellular matrix and some cholesterol molecules to maintain the membranes fluidity.

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.

How do carrier protiens transport substances across cell membrane?

1-A carrier prrotein binds to a molecule on one side of the cell membrane. 2-The carrier protein changes shape,shielding the molecule from the interior membrane. 3-The molecule is released on the other side of the membrane.
