It is made of phospholipids just as the cell membrane is. There are some differences in the type of proteins embedded in each membrane. Mitochondria have their own DNA and are thought to be another organism that became taken up by a larger cell. Both have benefitted by the relationship.

Is the outer membrane continuous with the thylakoid membrane?

No, the outer membrane of a chloroplast is not continuous with the thylakoid membrane. The outer membrane surrounds the entire chloroplast, while the thylakoid membrane is an internal membrane system within the chloroplast that contains the pigments and protein complexes necessary for photosynthesis.


What is inner membrane protein and outer membrane protein How can you get membrane protein from E. coli and how to separate the inner and outer membrane protein?

Inner membrane proteins are embedded in the inner membrane of bacteria, while outer membrane proteins are located in the outer membrane. To obtain membrane proteins from E. coli, you can disrupt the cells through methods like sonication or French press, followed by using differential centrifugation to separate the inner and outer membrane fractions based on their densities. Further purification techniques such as density gradient ultracentrifugation or membrane solubilization can be used to isolate inner and outer membrane proteins specifically.
