Phospholipid bilayers are critical components of cell membranes. The lipid bilayer acts as a barrier to the passage of molecules and ions into and out of the cell. However, an important function of the cell membrane is to allow selective passage of certain substances into and out of cells.
Structures that are common to all cell types:
* Plasma membrane
* Cytoplasm
* DNA
* Ribosomes
Functions:
* Plasma membrane provides protection to cell
* Cytoplasm holds components of cell and protects from damage
* DNA stores information for making proteins
* Ribosomes decode and form peptide bonds
