What is the most common type of molecule present in the bacteria cell membranes?

Phospholipids are the most common type of molecule present in bacterial cell membranes. They have a hydrophobic tail and a hydrophilic head, which allows them to form a lipid bilayer that makes up the cell membrane.


What type of molecule has a carboxyl head and makes up cell membranes?

A phospholipid molecule has a carboxyl head and makes up cell membranes. Phospholipids consist of a hydrophilic head (containing a phosphate group and a carboxyl group) and two hydrophobic tails, which help form the lipid bilayer of cell membranes.


What molecule is a membrane component?

Phospholipids are the main components of cell membranes. They have a hydrophilic (water-attracting) head and hydrophobic (water-repelling) tails, which help form a lipid bilayer that makes up the structure of cell membranes.


What kind of molecule makes up most of your cellular membranes?

A double layer of phospholipids makes up most of your cell membranes.


What kind of lipid makes up the bilayer that forms cell membranes?

Phospholipids, where one end is hydrophobic and the other is hydrophilic.


What type of chemical molecule makes up the bilayer?

Of cell membranes? Usually lipids and proteins.


What molecule makes up cell membranes?

Cell membranes are mainly composed of phospholipids. A phospholipid is a phosphate group with a fatty acid tail. Proteins are also present in cell membranes.


What type of molecule is embedded in cell membranes?

Proteins are often found embedded in the cell membrane. These proteins are called transmembrane or inter-membrane proteins.Cholesterol molecules are also found embedded in the hydrophobic interior of the cell membrane in many species


What is the lipid that is most abundant in all cell membranes?

Phospholipids are the most abundant lipids in cell membranes. They consist of a hydrophilic head and two hydrophobic tails, which give them the ability to form the lipid bilayer that makes up cell membranes.


Which type of lipid is most important in cell membranes?

The lipid that makes up the phospholipid bilayer in every cell of the body.


Does cells have plasma membranes?

I assume that by "Cell Membrane," you mean a lipid bi-layer that makes the cell membrane of micro-organisms. If that is what you mean, the iPhone does not have a cell membrane. There are not any lipid bi-layers anywhere in or around the iPhone.


What part of a cell makes membranes and processes proteins?

The endoplasmic reticulum makes membranes and processes proteins in a cell. There are two types: rough endoplasmic reticulum (with ribosomes attached for protein synthesis) and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification).
