Document Summary

Plasma membrane- a thin, lexible boundary between a cell and its environment that allows nutrients into the cell and allows waste and other products to leave the cell, generally made of lipids. Selecive permeability-a key property of the plasma membrane that allows substances to pass through while keeping other out. It helps maintain balance throughout the cell by controlling how, when, and how much substances enter and leave a cell. Phospholipid- a molecule that has a glycerol backbone, two faty acid chains, and a phosphate- containing group. Phospholipids form when a phosphate group replaces a faty acid. Phospholipid bilayer-a plasma membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer that is two layers of phospholipids that are arranged tail-to-tail. Phospholipids have two tails and a polar cap, so that when lined tail-to-tail the polar caps face the outside of the cell and the inside of the cell. This creates a polar surface and a nonpolar area in the middle.
