This membrane is called the fluid mosaic model as it is a mixture of phospholipids, cholesterol, proteins and carbohydrates. It is mainly phospholipids. The proteins sort of float on the surface of the membrane like islands in the sea.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.

Lipids are a major component of the cell's?
Plasma membrane
What is the outermost component of all cells?
The outermost living part of a cell is the cell membrane. The cell membrane regulates what comes into the cell and what goes out of the cell. It is composed of a double layer of phospholipids and proteins.
The major component of the cell membrane?
The two major components of the cell membrane are the phospholipid bilayer and proteins.
Which molecule has hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties and would be found in plasma membranes?
That would be phospholipids. They are a major component of the plasma membrane and contain hydrophilic, as well as, hydrophobic properties.
The three major parts of a cell are?
Cytoplasm, nucleus and plasma membrane
Lipids are a major component of the cell's?
Plasma membrane
What separates the intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments?
The barrier that separates the interstitial fluid from the intracellular fluid is the plasma membrane. The interstitial fluid is a major component of the extracellular fluid.
What is the outermost component of all cells?
The outermost living part of a cell is the cell membrane. The cell membrane regulates what comes into the cell and what goes out of the cell. It is composed of a double layer of phospholipids and proteins.
What is the major component of the cell membrane?
Phospholipids are the major component of cell membranes, but there are proteins, glycoproteins and cholesterol also in the membrane.
What is the major component of plasma?
As with most biological fluids, the major component of plasma by molarity and by mass is water. This is also true for the human body as a whole.
Are lipids a major component of the cells nucleus?
No. Lipids are an essential and major component of the cell membrane

What make up phospholipid?
Phospholipids are a major component of the cell membrane.
What do phospholipids make up?
Phospholipids are a major component of the cell membrane.
What are the 3 major parts of cell?
cell membrane, cytoplasm, and organelles
