Like all other cellular membranes, the plasma membrane consists of both lipids and proteins. The fundamental structure of the membrane is the phospholipid bilayer, which forms a stable barrier between two aqueous compartments. read more
Plasma Membrane Structure The plasma membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer, which is two layers of phospholipids back-to-back. Phospholipids are lipids with a phosphate group attached to them. read more
The plasma membrane has many proteins embedded in it. The plasma membrane regulates the entry and exit of the cell. Many molecules cross the cell membrane by diffusion and osmosis. The fundamental structure of the membrane is phospho lipid bilayer and it forms a stable barrier between two aqueous compartments. read more
