Question

Describe the basic structure of the cell membrane with regard to specific molecules. What is it made out of?

Answer 1

Answer: The cell membrane is made up of phospholipids and the overall name is the Phospholipid bi-layer

Explanation:

The cell membrane has two rows of phospholipids.  A phospholipid is broken into two parts, the heads and tails.  The heads are hydrophilic (water-loving) and point to the outside and inside regions making the inner and outer wall, while the tails are hydrophobic (water-hating) and face each other to make the inside of the membrane.  There are also molecules of cholesterol and proteins throughout the membrane.
