Figure 1. The eukaryotic plasma membrane is a phospholipid bilayer with proteins and cholesterol embedded in it. The plasma membranes of cells that specialize in absorption are folded into fingerlike projections calledmicrovilli(singular =microvillus); (Figure 2). Such cells are typically found lining...
cell- (biology) the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms; they may exist as independent units of life (as in monads) or may form colonies or tissues as in higher plants and animals semipermeable membrane- a membrane (as a cell membrane) that allows some molecules to pass ...
In physics, we frequently try to simplify a system's behavioraccordingly it into a theory. In biology, however, all of thesystem's features are critical; their arrangement is what allows lifeto exist. As a corollary, protein structure in the plasmamembrane is crucial for a variety of ...

The Cell Membrane Cellsare the basic building block of all living things. Someliving things are composed ofonly a single cell, while others are composed of many cells. What cells do depends on their location in an organism. Cells can work together to serve a particular function in the form...
All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike prokaryotes, eukaryotic cells also possess internal membranes that encase their organelles and control the exchange of essential cell components. Both ...
Timeline 1665–1925.Summary of the main contributions related to cell membrane discovery between the coining of the term “cell” in biology and the first studies on cell membrane structures. The events are approximatively ordered from top to bottom from the earlier events to the most recent. Al...
Cell - Channels, Membranes, Biology: Biophysicists measuring the electric current passing through cell membranes have found that, in general, cell membranes have a vastly greater electrical conductance than does a membrane bilayer composed only of phosph
The cell membrane – also called the plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane – is among the most fascinating and elegant constructs in the world of biology. The cell is considered the fundamental unit or "building block" of all living things on Earth; your own body has trillions of them, an...
