If you look at a picture of a cell membrane (http://apbiomaedahs.weebly.com/uploads/1/8/4/0/18405139/593679327_orig.jpg?510)
you'll see that there are 2 layers (bi- means 2) of the yellow things (the round heads are hydrophilic and the tails are hydrophobic and face each other), hence the name lipid bilayer

What are some examples of how a cell's structure relates to its function in the body?
irakobra [83]

The structure and shape of each type of human cell depends on what function it will perform in the body. For example, red blood cells (RBCs) are very small, flat discs, which allows them to easily fit through narrow capillaries and around sharp corners in the circulatory system to deliver oxygen throughout the body.

The elongated shape of muscle cells allows the contraction proteins to line up in an overlapping pattern that makes muscle flexing possible.

And human sperm cells’ structures allow them to “swim” long distances to reach an egg for fertilization
