Q

Describe chemical implosion of the plasma membrane.

A

Plasma membrane consists of two lipid layers arranged “tail to tail” in which protein molecules float. The proteins form a constantly changing pattern or mosaic. (The fluid mosaic model)
Most of the lipid portion is phospholipid and a substantial amount of cholesterols are found.
Phospholipid has hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails. The hydrophobic makeup of the membrane relatively impermeable to most water-soluable molecules. The cholesterol helps keep the membrane fluid.
