Capitol Report: Iranâs Global Threat. This week, I voted to stop the dangerous deal the Obama Administration negotiated to lift sanctions on Iran. I voted to protect Americans from the global threat posed by a nuclear Iran, because this is not a Republican issue or Democrat issue; this is an American security issue.
Cell Membrane Structure. The cell membrane is primarily composed of a mix of proteins and lipids. Depending on the membraneâs location and role in the body, lipids can make up anywhere from 20 to 80 percent of the membrane, with the remainder being proteins.
It also serves as a base of attachment for the cytoskeleton in some organisms and the cell wall in others. Thus the cell membrane also serves to help support the cell and help maintain its shape. Another function of the membrane is to regulate cell growth through the balance of endocytosis and exocytosis.
