It became the law of the land in 2010 and was named after Senator Christopher J. Dodd (D-CT) and U.S. Representative Barney Frank (D-MA), who were the sponsors of the legislation. But not all of the provisions are in place and some rules are subject to change, as we'll see.
Lipid bilayer is a universal component of all cell membranes. The structure is called a lipid bilayer because it composed of two layers of fatty acids organized in two sheets. The lipid bilayer is typically about five nanometers to ten nanometers thick and surrounds all cells providing the cell membrane structure.he structure is called a lipid bilayer because it composed of two layers of fatty acids organized in two sheets.

All eukaryotic cells have a cell surface membrane (also known as a plasma membrane). It is very fragile and its role is to hold the cell together and to help control what substances can get in and out. It is partially permeable, allowing only some substances to pass through it. The membrane has a complex structure consisting of a phospholipid bi-layer and different types of proteins. Phospholipids. These layers are constantly moving, creating small pores which allow small particles to pass through by diffusion and osmosis. Some of the lipids in the cell surface membrane are triglycerides. These are molecules formed from glycerol by reaction with fatty acids, phosphoric acid or simple sugars.
