Which type of molecule forms the cell membrane?

Phospholipids are the primary type of molecule that forms the cell membrane. They have hydrophilic (water-attracting) heads and hydrophobic (water-repelling) tails, allowing them to arrange in a bilayer to create the cell membrane.


Which type of molecule forms a lipid bilayer within a cell membane?

a phospholipid


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...


Does the cell membrane includes a triple layer or phospholipids?

No, the cell membrane is composed of a double layer of phospholipids called the lipid bilayer. This lipid bilayer forms a barrier that separates the internal contents of the cell from the external environment.

Which type of molecule forms a lipid bilayer within cell membrane?

Phospholipids form a lipid bilayer within the cell membrane. They have a hydrophilic (water-attracting) head and hydrophobic (water-repelling) tail, allowing them to arrange in a bilayer structure with the hydrophobic tails facing inward and hydrophilic heads facing outward.


A lipid that forms the framework of a cell membrane?

It is called a "phospholipid bilayer". Its made of molecules containing a hydrophilic phosphate head on one side and a hydrophobic lipid hydrocarbon tail on the other. There are essentially two layers of these molecules with the tails facing each other and the heads facing lining the interior and exterior of the cell.


Is a cell membrane made up of DNA bilayer?
