The plasma membrane is like an Oreo cookie because it has a dual-layer structure, similar to the cookie's two outer chocolate wafers surrounding a creamy filling. The cookie layers represent the phospholipid bilayer, with hydrophilic (water-attracting) heads facing outward and hydrophobic (water-repelling) tails facing inward. Just as the cream filling serves as a barrier and separates the two cookie layers, the membrane regulates what enters and exits the cell, maintaining its internal environment. This analogy highlights the membrane's selective permeability and structural organization.
