This membrane is called the fluid mosaic model as it is a mixture of phospholipids, cholesterol, proteins and carbohydrates. Most of the membrane is composed of phospholipid molecules. These allow the membrane to be rather fluid.
Embedded in this membrane are proteins which give some structure to the membrane. The 3rd components are proteins or glycolipids. Cholesterol is also found in the membrane. It prevents lower temperatures from inhibiting the fluidity of the membrane and prevents higher temperatures from increasing fluidity.
The most prevalent organic molecule in the bilayer is phospholipid.
Phospholipids lay to the foundation. They are type of lipids.
Phospholipids build up it. They are type of lipids
membrane lipid which is made up of phospholipids and glycolipids. both phospholipids and glycolipids makes up glycerolipid.
It makes the boundary of cells, imagine a letter covered by an envelope, the envelope is actually the cell membrane or phospholipid bilayer of eukaryotic cell.
The basic structure of cell membranes is a phospholipid bilayer. Phospholipids have a phosphate group (the head) and a lipid tail.
cell membrane
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.
A phospholipid bilayer makes up most of the cell membrane

The cell membrane's bilayer structure is made up of phospholipids.
The basic structure of cell membranes is a phospholipid bilayer. Phospholipids have a phosphate group (the head) and a lipid tail.
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.
