Best Answer

The lipid bilayer makes up the membrane of a cell. The lipid bilayer consists of opposing phospholipids, where the polar ends of both the top layer and the bottom layer of phospholipids face opposite directions.

The layers are made up of lipids. These have a water loving head and a water hating tail. The membrane kind of looks like this: O==O In the cell membrane the water hating tails face each other.

# In a plant there are two layers of the cell membrane, only in a plant. They are the cell wall (first) and the cell membrane (second). # In an animal cell, there is just the cell membrane.

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.

What is a bilayer?

A lipid bilayer is a double layer membrane formed from phospholipids. Phospholipids are composed of a polar head group and non-polar fatty acid tails. The arrangement of the phospholipids makes the cell membrane permeable.
