What is the basic structure of the plasma membrane?
The framework of the cell membrane is formed by the lipid bilayer. The lipid bilayer is composed of two layers of fat cells organized in two sheets. This is what provides the barrier that makes the boundaries of the cell.
Why water molecules cannot diffuse directly through the phosolipids bilayer?
Hydrophobic centre of the phospholipid bilayer prevents non-liquid soluble molecules from passing through.
In a plasma membrane how do the tails of the phospholipid molecules lineup?
they are sandwiched between two layers of heads
In a cell membrane what kind of molecules form two layers?
The phospholipid forms a bilayer (two layers).
Does the plasma membrane have a double layer?
Yes, that is why it is also referred to as a phospholipid bilayer.
Embedded in the phospholipid bilayer are?
Protein Molecules
What does Phospholipid Bilayer?
The phospholipid bilayer is the outer layer of the cell. It only lets very small molecules through it. The bigger ones will have to go through the proteins lodged in the bilayer and the HUGE molecules will have to perform exocytosis or endocytosis
How do phospholipid molecules organize within a lipid bilayer?
Side-by-side

What is a double walled with molecules that have hydrophobic tails and hydrophilic head?
Phospholipid Bilayer
Two-layer sandwich of molecules that surrounds an organella or cell is called a?

Why water molecules cannot diffuse directly through the phosolipids bilayer?
Hydrophobic centre of the phospholipid bilayer prevents non-liquid soluble molecules from passing through.
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...
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.
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.
What types of materials can enter the cell?
small molecules through the integral proteins in the phospholipid bilayer
