The cell (plasma) membrane is organised into a bilayer of phospholipids. This means that the hydrophilic (water-lover) polar heads of the phospholipids face out, and the hydrophobic (water-hating) non-polar tails face towards each other in the centre of the layer.
Interspersed within the phospholipids of the membrane are proteins (such as protein channels), cholesterol and carbohydrates.

The cell membrane also is called the?
The cell membrane is also known as the plasma membrane or the cytoplasmic membrane. It is a biological membrane that separates all cells' interior from the outside, though can be permeated by selection ions and molecules. Its basic function is to protect the cell from its surroundings.
