The main structure of the plasma membrane is composed of the phospholipid bilayer. The phospholipid bilayer is composed of a spherical hypertonic head & a straight hypotonic tail which is designed to prevent the flow of unauthorized molecules & to maintain control of what enters & exits the cell. In order for a molecule to pass through, it must use one of multiple different methods of molecular transportation. The most common is the use of channel proteins. The molecule will travel through the channel protein based on its size & polarity-polar or non-polar.

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 is the structure of a plasma membrane and what is the role of their hydrophilic heads?

That is the structure of plasma membrane adjectent or near the secondary cell wall in a cells. It's a living outermost boundary of all the cells.


This structure is the outermost boundary of the cell and is semipermeable?

The structure you are referring to is the cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane. It surrounds the cell, acts as a barrier, and regulates the passage of substances in and out of the cell through selective permeability.
