Best Answer

The cell membrane is made of phospholipids.

The plant cell wall is mostly composed of cellulose, the fungal cell wall of chitin and the algal cell wall of a polysaccharide (like cellulose) or a glycoprotein.

No, in a watery environment they self organise into two layers, because of their hydrophobic tails. Hydrophobic molecules don't like contact with water they assemble in such a way as to avoid contact with it, and the bilayer is a result.

Well its a phospholipid bi layer.Most of it is composed of phospholipid, but there others organic molecules like proteins and polysaccharides that makes the cell membrane.

The bilayer is composed mostly of lipids and stabling cholesterol molecules and a few proteins which act as "door ways".

What are cell membranes and cell wall composed of?

The cell membrane and the cell wall is are composed of two different things. The cell membrane is made from phospholipid bilayers that becomes flexible by cholesterols. The cell wall is a rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane that is either composed of cellulose, chitin, or peptidoglycan depending on the cell.
