What is the structure of the cell membrane and what are its functions?
Can you tell me about the structure of the cell membrane?
Sure! The cell membrane is composed of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates that form a selectively permeable barrier around the cell. The lipid bilayer is the main structural component of the cell membrane and consists of two layers of phospholipid molecules arranged in a tail-to-tail fashion.
