The Davson-Danielli model has limitations in explaining the structure of biological membranes because it proposed a rigid, layered structure with proteins sandwiched between lipid layers, which does not account for the dynamic nature of membranes and the presence of integral membrane proteins. This model also does not consider the fluidity and asymmetry of biological membranes, which are important for their functions.
Proteins are a major constituent of biomembranes, accounting for as much as 50% of the volume. The primary molecules found in biological membranes around cells are lipids (biological fat or wax molecules).
Phospholipids in biological membranes serve as the main structural component, forming a lipid bilayer that regulates the passage of molecules in and out of the cell. They also play a role in cell signaling and maintaining cell integrity.
Membrane proteins are found embedded within the lipid bilayer of cell membranes in biological systems.
Penetrating solutes can cross biological membranes easily, while non-penetrating solutes cannot pass through the membrane without the help of specific transport mechanisms.
Phospholipids
Most biological membranes are asymmetrical

The biological theme - membranes - is explored in two ways thusly: permeable membranes and semi-permeable membranes.

there are protein channels in the membranes and it regulate the entry of the molecules of different size.
