Favorite Answer

the cell membrane forms from a phospholipid bilayer with the phosphate end being hydrophilic and the 2 fatty acid tails attached to it being hydrophobic.

Cell Theory: ? Cell Membrane: the outer (thin) layer of a cell in which it allows for particles to pass through needed by the cell Prokaryote: a plant cell (has a cell wall and NO nuclear membrane) Eukaryote: animal cell (has NO cell wall and has a membrane bound nucleus) Microtubule: ? Lysosome: cells janitors (gets rid of unneeded and unwanted materials) Vacuole: water sac in the center of all plant cells Lipid Bilayer: ? Endocytosis: when materials enter the cell Exocytosis: when materials exit the cell

The phospholipids that form the bilayer of the cell membrane are comprised of a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tails.
