Phospholipid(:
K
No, the hydrophobic tails of the plasma membrane do not directly promote osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration. The hydrophilic heads of the plasma membrane allow water molecules to pass through, while the hydrophobic tails help maintain the structural integrity of the membrane.
No, cellulose is a polysaccharide that makes up the cell walls of plants. The plasma membrane, also known as the cell membrane, is a phospholipid bilayer that surrounds the cell, controlling the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
this is the cell membrane made primarily of lipid molecules with proteins incorporated into it that aid in transport of molecules across the membrane
What is the type of macromolecule that makes up most of the membrane structure?
A double layer of phospholipids makes up the plasma membrane.
Phospholipids.
the phospholipids. by weight it is half protein and half lipid

Plasma makes up 55% of blood volume.

Plasma membrane filters what the cell needs and keeps out what will harm it. this property is called selective permeability.
The plasma membrane is made up of a molecule called phospholipid. Phospholipids have a hydrophilic (water-attracting) head and hydrophobic (water-repelling) tails, which arrange themselves to form a lipid bilayer that makes up the membrane. This structure allows the membrane to regulate the passage of substances in and out of the cell.
