Biological Membrane

A lipid bilayer structure that encloses the cellular contents of living cells and regulates the passage of substances in and out of cells.

Trans Membrane

Pertaining to or spanning across a cellular membrane, often referring to proteins that extend through the bilayer and interact with both the inside and outside of a cell.

Fluid Mosaic Model

The currently accepted model of the plasma membrane and other cell membranes, in which protein molecules “float” in a fluid phospholipid bilayer.

Lipid Bilayer

The lipid bilayer is a fundamental structure forming cell membranes, composed of two layers of phospholipids, which serves as a barrier to protect cellular contents.
