60
Structure of the plasma membrane
The plasma membrane is selectively permeable. It has phospholipid bilayers, lipids and proteins. Outside is Pilar heads, hydrophilic and the inside is made up of non-polar heads, hydrophobic (loves fat). In order for molecules that are to large to pass through you need proteins to break them down to pass through the membrane.
