What Is The Structure Of Cell Membrane?
Cell membrane is an important component of the cell. It regulates the type of material that can enter and leave the cell. It is made up of three types of components: lipids, protein and carbohydrates. Unsaturated fatty acids which belong to the fat family play an important role in the fluidity of the cell membrane with respect to temperature change. The membrane remain fluid to a certain extent after which it solidifies this temperature is determined by the fatty acid composition of the membrane Phospholipids after forms of lips consisting of two fatty acids are another major component of the cell membrane. There are described as molecules having both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions. A cell membrane is mainly held together by hydrophobic interactions. The phospholipids in the cell form a phospholipids bilayer which basically acts as a semi permeable boundary between the cell membrane and its external environment. Protein molecules which form 50% of the dry weight of most cells, giv
