What is a phospholipid bilayer and where would you find it?
Phospholipids are polymers made up of two fatty acids, glycerol, a phosphate group and a polar molecule. A cell's membrane consists phospholipids where they form two layers (with the polar molecules facing opposite ends) to separate the interior of the cell from the outside environment. This is called a phospholipid bilayer.
What is the definition of 'Lipid Bilayer'?
A lipid bi-layer is a thin membrane of an animal or plant cell that comprises of two layers of lipid molecules. It is also known as the phospholipid bilayer.
The cell membrane is composed of two layers?
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.
Is the nuclear envelope composed of two bilayers?
There are two phospholipid bilayers that are present in the nuclear envelope. They are the inner and outer phospholipid bilayers. Nuclear envelope are also referred to as karyotheca, nucleolemma or nuclear membrane.
A lipid that forms the framework of a cell membrane?
It is called a "phospholipid bilayer". Its made of molecules containing a hydrophilic phosphate head on one side and a hydrophobic lipid hydrocarbon tail on the other. There are essentially two layers of these molecules with the tails facing each other and the heads facing lining the interior and exterior of the cell.
How many layers does the plasma membrane has?
Two phospholipid layers? I think.
In a cell membrane what kind of molecules form two layers?
The phospholipid forms a bilayer (two layers).
What are three parts of a phospholipid molecule?
two layers of phospholipids called the lipid bilayer
In a plasma membrane how do the tails of the phospholipid molecules lineup?
they are sandwiched between two layers of heads
In a plasma membrane how do tails of the phospholipid molecules line up?
they are sandwiched between two layers of heads
What are the parts of phospholipid molecule?
glycerol + two fatty acids +phosphate group

What does the cell membrace made of?
The cell membrane is made of a double layers of phospholipid.
What part of the membrane can span over both layers of a membrane?
Phospholipid bilayer
What is the basic structure of the plasma membrane?
The framework of the cell membrane is formed by the lipid bilayer. The lipid bilayer is composed of two layers of fat cells organized in two sheets. This is what provides the barrier that makes the boundaries of the cell.
Phospholipids usually aggregate in?
They aggregate together to form cell membranes known as the phospholipid bi-layer, 'bi' due to it making two membranes layers.
What are the parts of a phospholipid molecule?
two layers of phospholipids called the lipid bilayer
