A cell membrane is mostly a film of lipid molecules enclosing a volume of liquid. The lipid film is in a fluid-like phase, and thus the molecules are always in motion. All molecules are subject to the laws of thermodynamics, including the lipids in a cellular membrane. Unless matter is frozen to -273 degrees Celsius, there will always be some movement.

What is the source of the centripetal force that keeps the International Space Station in orbit around the earth?

The centripetal force that keeps the International Space Station in orbit around the Earth is due to the gravitational pull between the Earth and the space station. This gravitational force causes the space station to constantly fall towards Earth, but its tangential velocity keeps it moving sideways, resulting in a stable orbit.
