What are the two most important characteristics of the lipid bilayers found in cell membranes?
Lipid bilayers are important because of their impermeability by water solutions and their regulation of ion intake into the cell.
What is the most common type of molecule present in the bacteria cell membranes?
A lipid is the most common type of molecule present in the bacteria cell membranes.
What molecules form the double layer of cell membranes?
A double layer of phospholipids makes up most of your cell membranes
What lipid molecule makes up 50 percent of the cell membranes?
A phospholipid bilayer makes up most of the cell membrane
What is most important to transport within a cell?
Microtubules and intracellular membranes

What is the lipid that is most abundant in all cell membranes?
Phospholipids are the most abundant lipids in the cell membrane.
What is most important to transport within a cell?
Microtubules and intracellular membranes
What are the basic type of membrane?
the basic type of membrane according to cell biology is a lipid bilayer with proteins embedded in it. most membranes are made this way except for difference in some biomolecules but the basic structure is the same that is a lipid bilayer with proteins embedded in it
What is the key structural element of a cell membrane?
The primary structural component of a cell membrane is the phospholid layers. This is mainly made of proteins which facilitate various cell activities.
Are membranes the most important structures in cells?
yes but the nucleus is just as important no membrane cell dies no nucleus cell dies so they are equel
What is a cell composed of?
The cell membrane is composed of the lipid bilayer. In addition to lipids most membranes contain proteins and carbohydrates. ________________________________________________________________ YOUR finger nails and hair are made out of Keratin. its a protein (so is whale baleen and animal horns)
The components of membranes that account for most of their active functions are?
Diverse proteins embedded in the lipid bilayer or positioned at one of its surfaces carry out most of the membranes functions.
Which of the following is most important to transport within a cell?
microtubules and intracellular membranes Checked with mastering biology
