Of the major biomolecules, lipids, carbohydrates, proteins and nucleic acids, only nucleic acids are not present in cell membranes. Lipids make up the bilayer; proteins craete pumps and channels; carbohydrates are part of glycoproteins but no RNA or DNA is present.

Yes -- plant cells have cell walls made of cellulose, instead of cell membranes.

Proteins.


Do hydrophobic molecules cross cell membranes?

Yes, hydrophobic molecules can cross cell membranes because cell membranes are made up of a phospholipid bilayer that is permeable to nonpolar molecules like hydrophobic ones.


Does fat provide the major material from which cell membranes are made in the human body?

No, fats are not the major material from which cell membranes are made. Cell membranes are primarily composed of phospholipids, which have a lipid component but also include a phosphate group. While dietary fats can contribute to the lipid portion of cell membranes, they are not the major material used for their construction.


Which macromoleculesare are often made of three fatty acids bound to a glycerol molecules?

Triglycerides are macromolecules made of three fatty acids bound to a glycerol molecule. They function as a major energy storage form in organisms and also serve as a structural component of cell membranes.


What are the basic type of membrane?

the basic type of membrane according to cell biology is a lipid bilayer with proteins embedded in it. most membranes are made this way except for difference in some biomolecules but the basic structure is the same that is a lipid bilayer with proteins embedded in it


What macromolecules make up the composition of the organelles of the cell?

The organelles of a cell are primarily composed of lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Lipids are important for forming membranes, proteins provide structure and function, and nucleic acids store genetic information. Carbohydrates are also present in some organelles as storage molecules or for structural support.


If animal cell has cell wall?

Animal cells do not have cell walls--only cell membranes. All cells have cell membranes made of a phospholipid bilayer. Cell walls, which are located outside of a cell's membrane, are made of various materials depending on the type of cell. They are found in plants (cellulose), fungi (chitin) and bacteria (peptidoglycan).


Which cell structure does phospholipid affect the function of?
