The tail is made up of fatty acids which is enclosed in the layers. The cell membrane also comprises of cholesterol and membrane proteins.

2) The cell membrane is semi-permeable. It allows the entry of specific molecules into the cell and exit specific molecules only.

4) Water moves through the cell membrane by osmosis. Osmosis can be described as the movement of water molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration along the concentration gradient.
