2 layers of these form much of the cell membrane?

A double layer, known as a bilayer, of phopholipids forms the main part of the cell membrane.


Is basement membrane part of arteriole?

Yes. The arteriole has different layers of tissue from inside to out: endothelial layer, basement membrane, smooth muscle and then the extra cellular matrix. The basement membrane is composed of collagen and fibrillin.


Is a cell membrane a plant cell or a animal cell or both?

A cell membrane is part of the cell found in both plants and animals. Plant cells often have a cell wall around the cell membrane.


What is ventral subarachnoid?

It is the area between the pia matter and the arachnoid membrane of the brain. The pia matter is part of the membrane that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. The arachnoid membrane is the inner layer of three layers that surround the brain and spinal cord.


The continuous part of the plasma membrane is the?

phospholipid bilayer, which consists of two layers of phospholipid molecules. It controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell, providing a barrier that separates the internal and external environments of the cell.


What is the difference between the basal membrane and the basement membrane in biological structures?

The basal membrane is a specific type of basement membrane found in epithelial tissues. The basement membrane is a thin, sheet-like structure that provides support and separates different tissue layers. The basal membrane is a specialized part of the basement membrane that is located adjacent to the basal surface of epithelial cells.


Cell membrane is what type of cell?

cell membrane is a part of the cell (organelle) not a cell


What part do both the timpani and the snare drum have in common?

They both have stretched membrane or a drumhead which is hit and the one that vibrates to produce that sound of the drum.


Is cell membrane a prokaryotic cell or eykaryotic cell?

Neither. Cell membrane is a membrane covering a cell (hence the name) and is in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic, although most types of prokaryotic and some types of eukaryotic also has cell wall covering the cell membrane.


Is a cell membrane a plant cell or animal cell?

Both, most plant cells have a cell wall but animal cells do not.


Does orange peel have a membrane?

Yes, orange peel has a membrane. The peel consists of two main layers: the outer layer, known as the flavedo, which contains essential oils and pigments, and the inner layer, called the albedo, which is the white, spongy part that lies just beneath the flavedo. These layers serve to protect the fruit and support its structure. The membrane within the orange itself, separating the segments, is different and helps keep the juice compartments intact.


What part of the plasma membrane is hydrophilic?

The plasma membrane is a dynamic structure. It is composed of 2 layers of lipid material with protein molecules interspersed through out. The phospholipids move at a rate of 2um. /sec. while the proteins move at a much slower rate. The phospholipids have 2 definite ends, a hydrophilic (focusing to the outside and inside of the membrane) and a hydrophobic one (forming the center of the membrane
