Something called a phospholipid bilayer, contain a hydrophilic (likes Water) head with two hydrophobic (hates water) tails below it. When its in a liquid containing water it arranges itself in such a way so that the head is facing and in contact with the water, whilst keeping the hydrophobic tails away from the water. This causes the membrane to form and helps in the addition of channels and such, which rely on it being hydrophobic in the membrane to help maintain the cell and thus YOU.

What do cell membranes consist of?
Each membrane is a phospholipid bilayer with proteins embedded in it.This description applies to all membranes, the internal ones as well as the plasma membrane (the one surrounding the cytoplasm).To see an image click the link below.
Cell Membranes are contructed mainly of?
Cell membranes are made of a phospholipid bilayer.
State one function of the protein molecules that are located in cell membranes?
The protein molecules in the cell membrane consist of adenine, 5 carbon sugars and three phosphate groups.
Do protist have cell membranes?
do protists have cell membranes?
Which microbes have cell membranes?

Cell membranes are constucted mainly of?
lipid bilayers
What molecule makes up cell membranes?
Cell membranes are mainly composed of phospholipids. A phospholipid is a phosphate group with a fatty acid tail. Proteins are also present in cell membranes.
Cell Membranes are contructed mainly of?
Cell membranes are made of a phospholipid bilayer.
What does the endomembrane consist of?
Membranes suspended in cytoplasm within a eukaryotic cell. These cells can be found in both plants and animals.
What does the dorsal root ganglia consist mainly of?
cell bodies of unipolar neurons
Where are lipids in the body located?
They are mainly located in the cell membranes but also can take tho form of steroids.
How does the cell membranes relate to its function?
Cell membrane mainly consists of bilayer phospholipid which makes sure that nothing but water to pass through.
State one function of the protein molecules that are located in cell membranes?
The protein molecules in the cell membrane consist of adenine, 5 carbon sugars and three phosphate groups.

What are cell structures made of?
Molecules : membranes are mostly fats, most everything else is proteins. DNA is mainly sugars.
