What are the main functions of the cell membrane and what molecules is it made of?
A cell membrane is mostly made of a double layer of phosolipids and it's function is like a boundary. The cell is like a factory and the membranes are the wall of the factory.
What is the substance found in animal cell membranes?
there are three layers protein layer phospholipid layer protein layer
The lipid layer that forms the foundation of cell membranes is primarily composed of molecules called?
phospholipids
Which macromolecule forms a double layer as the primary structure of cell membranes?
Phospholipids form the lipid bilayer that are the basis of cell membranes.
What are three factors that affect the health of cell membranes and how do they do it?
Many highly reactive molecules can affect the cell membranes negatively by modifying the chemical structure of the double layer of lipids that constitute most of these membranes. The most reactive of these molecules are strong oxidants, which can damage other molecules and the cell structures of which they are a part. Phosphorous is an essential nutrient, as it assists and strengthens energy metabolism, DNA structure, and cell membranes. Zinc is both an antioxidant enzyme co-factor and a stabilizer of cell membranes. It is not an oxidant so it will not damage the molecules or cell structures as mentioned above.

A double layer of phospholipids makes up most of your cell membranes.
This cell structure is made up of a double layer of a fat molecules?
It is the cell menbrane
What cell part receives nerve impulses and hormones from other?

Cell Membranes are contructed mainly of?
Cell membranes are made of a phospholipid bilayer.
Does biological molecules proteins and lipids have cell membranes?
Proteins and lipids don't have cell membranes but are the molecules that make up the bulk of what a cell membrane is.
Four types of membranes and their locations?
The four types of membranes are: 1) cutaneous membranes; 2) serous membranes; 3) mucous membranes; and 4) synovial membranes. Mucous membranes are tissues that line body cavities or canals such as the throat, nose, mouth, urethra, rectum, and vagina. Serous membranes line body cavities (peritoneum) and surround organs such as the lung (pleura) and heart (pericardium). The cutaneous membrane is the skin. This membrane is composed of a layer of epithelium over a layer of connective tissue. Synovial membrane is a layer of connective tissue that lines the cavities of joints, tendon sheaths, and bursae (fluid sacs) and makes synovial fluid, which has a lubricating function.
What are proteins found in cell membranes that transport large molecules?
carrier molecules
