Question

write structure of plasma membrane​

Answer 1

Structure of plasma membrane are

1.plasma membrane consist of bilayer of phospholipid.

2.There are two types of protein

a)extrinsic protein:present of either side of plasma membrane

b)Intrinsic protein:embedded partially or wholly in lipid bilayer

3.Traces of carbohydrate attached with protein.

Given by Singer and Nicklson in 1972.

Answer 2

Hé!

• The plasma membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer, which is two layers of phospholipids back-to-back. Phospholipids are lipids with a phosphate group attached to them. The phospholipids have one head and two tails. The head is polar and hydrophilic, or water-loving. The tails are nonpolar and hydrophobic, or water-fearing.
• Since water is the key component of living organisms, both inside and outside of the cell, this causes the phospholipids to line up in two layers with the heads pointing outward and the tails hidden in the middle. It basically looks like a phospholipid sandwich with the heads forming the bread and the tails forming the meat in the middle.
• Located all throughout the surface of the plasma membrane are cholesterol molecules. These molecules help stabilize the phospholipids and keep them in position. The plasma membrane is also dotted with proteins. Some of the proteins are peripheral proteins that only go halfway through the membrane, while others are integral proteins that go entirely through the membrane. These proteins serve as channels to allow the molecules to enter and leave the cell.
