Cell Membrane

Define cell (plasma) membrane

• lipid that helps minimize effects of temperature

• only on the outer surface of the plasma membrane and are attached to proteins or lipids; form distinctive cellular markers

• flexible boundary of a cell that separates a cell from its surroundings

• may extend partway into the plasma membrane, cross the membrane entirely, or be loosely attached to its inside or outside face

Which type of biological macromolecule is the main component of the plasma membrane?

• carbohydrate

• lipid

• protein

• nucleic acid

• the phosphate "head"

• the lipid "tails"

This image is an example of a phospholipid. Which part of a phospholipid is HYDROPHILIC?
