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.

What is the lipid membrane hypothesis?
The lipid hypothesis was one of two hypotheses (the other being the chronic endothelial injury hypothesis) developed in the 1850s to explain the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. It proposes a connection between plasma cholesterol level and the development of coronary heart disease.It was proposed by the German pathologist Rudolf Virchow in 1856 and suggested that blood lipid accumulation in arterial walls causes atherosclerosis.[citation needed][1] Since the emergence of cardiovascular disease as a major cause of death in the Western world in the middle of the 20th century, the lipid hypothesis received greater attention. An accumulation of evidence has led to the acceptance of the lipid hypothesis as scientific fact by the medical community;[2]however, a small but vocal minority[who?] contend that it has not yet been properly validated, and that vascular inflammatory mechanisms prevail independent of blood cholesterol levels
What is a prevailing theory on how cells evolved?
There is not yet a consensus on how cellular life first came to exist. But the general lines of one important hypothesis is that molecular replicators emerged through a complex series of chemical circumstances, and came to employ pre-existing lipid vesicles to concentrate their numbers and protect them against competitors.
What gland produce prostrate secreation in the semen?
The fluid is derived from the prostate gland. The testicles inject sperm into the prostatic fluid and the cowper's gland shoots "pre-semen" into the urethra before ejaculation. It is extremely slippery and is a lubricant for the semen to flow freely. A rapid climax before excitement can be painful because the cowper's has not yet lubed up the tube.
Joints make popping sounds cure?
Since your bone's ends (i.e. where the joint is) are covered by a thin capsule filled with lubricating fluid (i.e. synovial fluid), the popping noise happens when nitrogen bubbles trapped in the fluid create a vacuum, much like a sonic boom, during joint movements.
Are integral membrane proteins mobile within the bi-lipid-layer?
Yes, yet their movements are highly Constricted.
Why is lactic acid not a fatty acid?
Lactic acid contains the acid part yet lacks the lipid - fatty - portion. Details available.
What are the causes of fluid in the fallopian tubes?
that there is still posibility for pregnancy and the woman did not have her menoposal yet
Why does brake fluid message keep coming on in 2005 Malibu when fluid is fine?
Well, if the brake fluid is fine, yet there is a message saying "brake fluid" or "low brake fluid level", then there is a possibility that that the float sensor in the reservoir is faulty, the wiring leading to the sensor is faulty, or the computer is faulty.
Where is brake fluid sensor on Honda. My brake light comes onoff and fluid is full and emergency brake is not on. What is it?
I have the same problem - I was recommended a brake fluid drain and brake fluid sensor replacement - haven't done it yet, but hopefully it works. Dealer quoted me $190.
Is 10 fluid ounces less than 2 pints?
1 pint = 16 fluid ounces That's already more than 10 fluid ounces, and we haven't even progressed to the 2nd pint yet. 2 pints = 32 fluid ounces
A substance that expands to fill its container yet has a density approaching that of a liquid and that can behave as a solvent is called?
Supercritical Fluid
What kind of transmission fluid can be used in a 1997 Hyundai Elantra Wagon?
I've yet to change mine, but I hear that you specifically need to get Hyundai brand tranny fluid. Don't use generic.
How many quarts of automatic transmission fluid is required for a 1996 Toyota Camry LE 4-cylinderinder?
A 1996 Toyota Camry 4 cyl will need 2.6 quarts of transmission fluid. The recommendation is Dexron III, or better yet, Toyota T-IV fluid.

Why are drugs in solid form unlikely to be absorbed in the stomach to any significant extent?
Only the lipid soluble non-ionized form of a drug can diffuse across the membrane. The pH is low in the stomach. For the acidic drugs, they are non-ionized at low pH yet they are poorly soluble. For the basic drugs, they are soluble yet ionized.
