Question

What materials make up a cell membrane?

Answer 1

Cell membrane:

1. All cells have a cell membrane, also known as a plasma membrane, which separates the interior of the cell from the external environment.
2. A semipermeable lipid bilayer makes up the cell membrane.
3. The movement of materials into and out of the cell is controlled by the cell membrane.
4. Glycerophospholipids, molecules formed of glycerol, a phosphate group, and two fatty acid chains, are the primary component of most cellular membranes, including plasma membranes and interior membranes.
