Nonpolar lipids, specifically phospholipids, make up the majority of the cell membrane. These molecules consist of a hydrophilic (water-attracting) "head" and two hydrophobic (water-repelling) "tails," allowing them to form a bilayer that serves as a barrier to polar substances. This nonpolar nature is crucial for maintaining the integrity and fluidity of the membrane, enabling it to regulate the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

What part of cell controls movement of molecules in and out of cell?
The cell membrane controls what enters and leaves the cell. There are protein channels within the lipid bilayer (membrane) of the cell. There are carbohydrate chains that hang off of the protein channels that identify each particle around the cell to make sure its what the cell needs, if not it wont let it in.

Phospholipids and proteins are used to make cell?

What is the outermost component of all cells?
The outermost living part of a cell is the cell membrane. The cell membrane regulates what comes into the cell and what goes out of the cell. It is composed of a double layer of phospholipids and proteins.
Is the cell mebrane a cell?
No, the cell membrane is a structure that separates the interior of a cell from its external environment. It is a vital component of a cell, but the cell membrane itself is not a cell. Cells are the basic unit of life that make up all living organisms.

What characteristic make a cell membrane selectively premeable?
the chemical nature of the membrane
What is one major roll of fats in the cell membrane?
One major role of fats in the cell membrane is to provide structure and stability. Fats, specifically phospholipids, make up the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane, creating a barrier that controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell. Additionally, fats in the cell membrane can also serve as energy storage molecules.
What pushes against the cell membrane to help make the cell rigid?
water
Phospholipids and proteins are used to make cell?
membrane
What controls what enters and leaves the cell?
IT depends on what cell. In the plant cell it is the cell wall and the cell membrane. But in the animal cell it is only the cell membrane.
What 2 thing make up the cell membrane?
The cell membrane is primarily composed of lipids (such as phospholipids) and proteins. These two components work together to control the passage of substances in and out of the cell, maintain cell structure, and facilitate cell communication.
What is the outermost component of all cells?
The outermost living part of a cell is the cell membrane. The cell membrane regulates what comes into the cell and what goes out of the cell. It is composed of a double layer of phospholipids and proteins.
Where does the protein to make the plasma membrane?
that is found in a prokyotic cell
How does a virus particle activate in the living cell?
It has to be able to hijack a living cell, enter the cell though matching protein docking stations. Then it enters with just its' DNA or RNA (one or the other). It makes the host cell make just virus parts and assemble them. When the cell is full, it breaks open. They cell can not replace its' own parts so the membrane falls apart.
Is the cell mebrane a cell?
No, the cell membrane is a structure that separates the interior of a cell from its external environment. It is a vital component of a cell, but the cell membrane itself is not a cell. Cells are the basic unit of life that make up all living organisms.
