Question

Explain how the structure of a cell membrane makes possible it’s function

Answer 1

The phospholipids of a cell membrane doesn’t mingle with water, cholesterol molecules control the consistency of cell membrane and proteins of the membrane transport materials in the cell membrane.

The cell membrane is present in all cells. Consisting of four types of molecules, the cell membrane keeps the cell separate from the outer environment.

The structure of the cell or plasma membrane is constructed by

• The Phospholipid molecules that flow in the liquid of the membrane.
• The lipid bilayer of the phospholipid prevents them to mingle with the water.
• The cholesterol molecules control the passing of small molecules in the membrane and control its consistency.
• The proteins of membrane transport materials in the membrane and carbohydrates protect the plasma membrane.
