One of two layers.
A lipid bilayer is a double layer of lipid molecules that forms the basis of cell membranes. It consists of two layers of phospholipids arranged with their hydrophilic heads facing outward and their hydrophobic tails facing inward, creating a barrier that controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell.

Yes, water can cross the lipid bilayer through a process called simple diffusion.
Yes, nonpolar molecules can cross the lipid bilayer because the lipid bilayer is made up of nonpolar molecules itself, allowing nonpolar molecules to pass through easily.
Yes, carbon dioxide (CO2) can diffuse through the lipid bilayer of a cell membrane.
It depends on which lipid bilayer you're talking about. There is the phospholipid bilayer that surrounds eukaryotic cells, cholesterol phospholipid bilayers, protein lipid bilayers, phase transition lipid bilayer, lipid bilayer membrane...
The selectively permeable phospholipid bilayer (a.k.a plasma membrane) is 'selectively permeable' because it selects which molecules it allows to permeate (pass through).

no it is made up of lipid bilayer
The cell membrane's bilayer structure is made up of phospholipids.
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.
Well i think what you are asking is what forms the thin membrane of a cell. and that is a Phospholipid bilayer where the outside surfaces of the bilayer are hydorphilic (heads) and the inside of the bilayer is hydrophobic (tails).
The nucleus has the same sort of boundary as the cell itself has. That is a lipid bilayer.

A cell's membrane (plasma membrane) is made of a phospholipid bilayer where the hydrophillic phosphate groups form the two outer sides of the bilayer and the hydrophobic fatty acid chains are the interior.
