Cell Membrane: Structure
Cell Membrane: Structure
- All cell membranes, including cell-surface membranes and membranes around cell organelles, have the same basic structure.
- The fluid-mosaic model explains the allocation and movement of phospholipids, proteins, glycoproteins, and glycolipids in cell membranes.
- Cholesterol may be present in cell membranes, and its role is to limit the manoeuvrability of other membrane molecules.
- Drawing a simple bilayer could be a potential task.
- Research experiments have contributed to the understanding and development of the fluid mosaic model.
- The structure of a cell membrane can be related to other contexts such as action potentials and the exchange of substances.
