It is the plasma membrane of a cell. The plasma membrane is a phospolipid bilayer, but because the phospsolipids are amphipathic, and because the lipid tails of each are turned into one another it is considered a trilamina. Hydrophilic Head of the inner layer + lipid tails of each layer + Hydrophilic Head of the outer layer.

Is unit model and Robertson's model of cell membrane alike?

No, the unit model and Robertson's model of the cell membrane are not the same. The unit model describes the structure of the lipid bilayer, while Robertson's model, also known as the fluid mosaic model, describes the dynamic nature of the membrane with proteins embedded in the lipid bilayer.


Why is the plasma membrane called a unit membrane?

The plasma membrane is called a unit membrane because it is structurally and biochemically the same in all organelles, naturally including the pervasive endoplasmic reticulum. Besides this, it is recognized by all organelles as Portions of The Unit Membrane.


Is membrane a subcellular structure?

Yes, a membrane would be a subcellular structure.


Why has the unit membrane theory been rejected?

The unit membrane theory, which proposed that all cellular membranes had a uniform structure, has been rejected because modern research has shown that different cellular membranes have unique compositions and structures. This diversity in membrane structure allows for specific functions to be carried out by different organelles and cell types.


The very small organized sturture that is bound membrane and that is the basics unit of structure and function in all orgamisms?

The basic unit of structure and function in all organisms is the cell, which is a very small organized structure enclosed by a membrane. Cells contain various organelles that perform specific functions to support the life processes of the organism. Through processes like metabolism and reproduction, cells contribute to the overall structure and function of living organisms.


What is smallest free living cell with cell wall?

The smallest free-living cell with a cell wall is Mycoplasma, a type of bacteria. Mycoplasma have a unique cell wall structure called a "trilaminar membrane" rather than the typical peptidoglycan cell wall found in most bacteria.


Do mitochondria possess a double membrane structure?

Yes, mitochondria have a double membrane structure.


Can you clearly see the membrane as a structure?

Yes, the cell membrane can be seen clearly as a structure. The cell membrane is called the plasma membrane and is a barrier between the cell and its environment.


What are the molecules that give the cell membrane a mosaic structure?

protein molecules in the cell membrane gives the mosaic structure .


What does trilaminar endometrium mean?

"Trilaminar emdometrium" is a term generally applied to the (ultra)sonographic pattern of the endometrium. It speaks to the "shape" of the interuterine area and, by default the echoic properties of the endometrium, which is the lining of the uterus. Let's back up. The uterine lining, the endometrium, undergoes changes throughout a woman's menstrual cycle. In cases where a woman is undergoing some sort of fertility treatment, sonography reveals something about the characteristics of the endometrium, and investigators may suspect that conditions may or may not be favorable to fertilization and conception based on what they see in the sonogram. A trilaminar endometrium is more favorable than non-trilaminar. What seems the case is that if the "general shape" of the image is a trilaminar endometrium, then the conditions for favorable outcomes in insemination attempts are improved over non-trilaminar sonography. There is not guarantee, but in the clearly non-trilaminar imaging, no pregnancies occurred in the studies.


What are the currently accepted hypothesis of membrane structure referred to as?

The currently accepted hypothesis of membrane structure is the fluid mosaic model. This model describes the cell membrane as a dynamic structure composed of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins that are free to move laterally within the membrane. It emphasizes the fluidity and flexibility of the membrane.


What is the basic unit of structure in protists and monerans?

Cell. Becuase CELLS are the basic unit of structure and function of all living things.
