Capitol Report: Iranâs Global Threat. This week, I voted to stop the dangerous deal the Obama Administration negotiated to lift sanctions on Iran.

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.
Lesson Summary. The cell membrane, or plasma membrane, surrounds and protects the internal environment of a cell; however, this is not its only function. A cell membrane also determines what materials enter or leave the cell. This ensures that the cells will be able to get rid of wastes and take up important nutrients and gases.
