In a plasma membrane how do tails of the phospholipid molecules line up?
they are sandwiched between two layers of heads
What is the plasma membrane aka phospholipid bilayer?
The plasma membrane is the limiting membrane of a cell. It is called Phospholipid Bilayer because it consists of proteins and lipids.
Which type of molecule is found in the plasma membrane?
The plasma membrane is composed mostly of phospholipids
What makes up most of the plasma membrane?
Phospholipid(:
Which type of membrane surrounds a cell?
this is the cell membrane made primarily of lipid molecules with proteins incorporated into it that aid in transport of molecules across the membrane
A double layer of these molecules makes up the plasma membrane?
A double layer of phospholipids makes up the plasma membrane.
Which phospholipid bilayer has intrinsic and extrinsic protein molecules?
I'm pretty sure its a cell membrane :)
What is a material that allows certain molecules to pass through it called?
The Plasma Membrane, which has a phospholipid bi-layer.

The double layer of phospholipids is called a what?
The double layer of phospholipids is called the phospholipid bilayer. It forms the basis of every membrane, both the plasma membrane and all internal membranes.The idea that the bilayer has protein molecules embedded in it is the essence of the fluid mosaic model of the cell membrane.
Is a phospholipid found in a plasma membrane?
Yes, that is why one of the membrane's names is, phospholipid bilayer.
Does plasma membrane have phospholipid layer?
A phospholipid bi-layer.
What is the plasma membrane aka phospholipid bilayer?
The plasma membrane is the limiting membrane of a cell. It is called Phospholipid Bilayer because it consists of proteins and lipids.
What is another name for the phospholipid?
Another name for the phospholipid bilayer is the plasma membrane or the cell membrane.
What is another name for phospholipid?
plasma membrane .
Because the phospholipid molecules and some proteins are free to move the plasma membrane is said to be?
fluid mosaic
Which type of molecule is found in the plasma membrane?
The plasma membrane is composed mostly of phospholipids
