Phospholipid Bilayer Properties

This lipid bilayer is fluid, with individual lipid molecules able to diffuse rapidly within their own monolayer The membrane lipid molecules are amphipathic

The phospholipid bilayer is an important structure in biology because it plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and stability of cells It acts as a
