The protein's amino acids that are within the lipid bilayer generally have lipophilic side chains. They form a helix with the side chains facing out, so the lipids within the bilayer attract and stabilize this arrangement of the protein, keeping it in the lipid bilayer

∙ 9y agoProteins are made of amino acids. Some amino acids are polar and others are nonpolar. Nonpolar portions of a protein are attracted to the interior of the lipid bilayer but are repelled by water on either side of the membrane. In contrast, polar parts of the protein are attracted to the water on both sides of the lipid bilayer. These opposing attractions help hold the protein in the membrane.

Embedded in the phospholipid bilayer?
Protein Molecules
What is the structure of cellular inclusion?
A lipid bilayer (sometimes double bilayer) with embedded proteins for targeting and support.
Which of these are not embedded in the lipid bilayer at all?
Bacteria prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic.
The plasma membrane is a bilayer of lipid molecules with protein molecues embedded True or False?
it depends on what you are referring to. the lipid bilayer is exactly what it says.it is two layers compsed of lipids. lipid molecules have two properties: a hydophobi tail and a hydrophilic head. so when the bi layer is put together, it has the tails facing eachter and the heads out to react with water conditions in the body. the membrane is also embedded with proteins of all dffierent kinds that allows ions to cross and this allows for cell communication
How can a lipid bilayer be fluid yet asymetrical?
There are proteins embedded in the membrane also. Some of these proteins exist on the aqueous side (outside) while others are only embedded on the inside. These are called peripheral membrane proteins. Some proteins go span the entire length of the lipid bilayer and are called transmembrane proteins. Peripheral membrane proteins are only temporarily attached and can become free by some types of stresses (i.e. detergents, solvents etc.). Integral membrane proteins are proteins that are permanently attached to the membrane.
Are integrins embedded in the lipid bilayer?
Yes they are, as well as glycoproteins, integral proteins, and transmembrane proteins. Peripheral proteins however are not embedded in the lipid bilayer.
What are the proteins embedded in the lipid bilayer?
peripheral proteins

Receptor proteins are embedded in the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane.

What term describes the structure of a plasma membrane of a its oily nature and embedded proteins?
The term that is used is "lipid bilayer".
What is a brief description for the structure of the cell membrane?
lipid bilayer with peripheral and integral proteins embedded throughout.

What form the lipid bilayer?
The lipid bilayer of a cell membrane is composed of two layers of phospholipids with polar heads on the outside and nonpolar tails facing inward. It also contains embedded proteins and considerable amounts of cholesterol to maintain membrane fluidity.
Protective layer around all cell?
Cell membrane, it is composed of a lipid bilayer with various embedded proteins.
