Presentation Transcript

  1. Cell membrane

  2. What is a lipid? • What is a lipid? • A fat molecule that doesn’t like water (Hydrophobic) • ie: water fearing

  3. Cell Membrane • The cell membrane or plasma membrane is made up of a phospholipid bilayer. • Phospholipids are lipids with a phosphate group attached to them. • Proteins are embedded in the membrane.

  4. Draw this!
