Which type of molecule forms the cell membrane?
The basic structure of cell membranes is a phospholipid bilayer. Phospholipids have a phosphate group (the head) and a lipid tail.
Why can molecules that are fat-soluble permeate across a cell membrane?
Cell membranes are composed of a lipid bilayer. Cellular fluid (cytosol) and the cell's organelles are contained by the cell's membrane, which is composed of a lipid bilayer. Lipids are a type of fat. Because a cell's membrane is composed of fat, only fat-soluble molecules are able to dissolve through the membrane into the cytosol.
Embedded in the phospholipid bilayer?
Protein Molecules
What provides support for cell and has two subparts?
The cells is what supports on one thing. The one thing that the cell supports is the lipid bilayer.
What is a Semipermeable barrier made of two layers of phospholipids?
The semipermeable barrier made of two layers are called the Lipid Bilayer. They are in almost every living organism. The Hydrophilic heads are on the in and outside layer. Viruses are also made from the lipid bilayer and all of the membranes around the cell.
Which macromolecule forms a double layer as the primary structure of cell membranes?
Phospholipids form the lipid bilayer that are the basis of cell membranes.

What kind of lipid makes up the bilayer that forms cell membranes?
Phospholipids, where one end is hydrophobic and the other is hydrophilic.
Cell Membranes are contructed mainly of?
Cell membranes are made of a phospholipid bilayer.
What is a key structural component of a cell's membrane?
Cell membranes are made of a lipid bilayer with various proteins interspersed.
Cell membranes are made up of what?
cell membranes are made of of a lipid bilayer with proteins embeded in it. A lipid bilayer is two layers of phospholipids with the polar head on the surfaces and the nonpolar hydrocarbon tails in the middle
What forms the boundary of the nucleus?
The nucleus has the same sort of boundary as the cell itself has. That is a lipid bilayer.
What molecule forms the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane?
phospholipids
What does the lipid bilayer give cell membranes?
shape and transport room for things to enter and leave the cell
What is the double layered sheet that makes up nearly all cell membranes called?
60%phospholipids and 30% proteins and10% carbohydrates
What is the key structural component of a cell's membrane.?
Cell membranes are made of a lipid bilayer with various proteins interspersed.
