The cell membrane is made of phospholipids and not triglycerides. These are found in the blood and are also the major part of your body fat.

Is a cell membrane made up of triglycerides?

No, a cell membrane is mainly composed of phospholipids, cholesterol, and proteins. Triglycerides are a type of lipid that serve as an energy storage molecule within cells, but they are not a major component of cell membranes.


What cell structures are made primarily from phospholipids?

When a cell takes in larger particles through a cell membrane?

When a cell needs to take in a particle larger than the membrane channels can passage, it will invaginate the cell membrane around the particle(s) and pinch off part of the membrane containing the particles inside the cell membrane. This is called phagocytosis (when the particles are primarily solid) or pinocytosis (when the particles are primarily liquid).


What is the membrane that surrounds the cells?

Is glycerol a component of the cell membranes structure?

No, glycerol is not a component of the cell membrane structure. Glycerol is a simple sugar alcohol that is a key component of lipids such as triglycerides. Cell membranes are primarily composed of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates forming a phospholipid bilayer.

Where do lipids appear primarily in a cell?

Lipids are created in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum of a cell. Many are used in the cell membrane, particularly phospholipids, whose double layer creates the basic structure of the membrane.

The outer covering of a cell that controls what enters and leaves is called the?

The outer covering of a cell that controls what enters and leaves is called the cell membrane. It acts as a barrier to regulate the passage of molecules and ions in and out of the cell.
