Detailed explanation-1: -Biological membranes consist of a continuous double layer of lipid molecules in which membrane proteins are embedded. This lipid bilayer is fluid, with individual lipid molecules able to diffuse rapidly within their own monolayer. The membrane lipid molecules are amphipathic. The most numerous are the phospholipids.
Detailed explanation-2: -Part of the cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer, made of two layers of phospholipid molecules. However, the cell membrane also contains other macromolecules like membrane proteins, and carbohydrates. Therefore, we can say that the cell membrane is made of a phospholipid bilayer, but it is not only made of it.
Detailed explanation-3: -What Are Cellular Membranes Made Of? With few exceptions, cellular membranes-including plasma membranes and internal membranes-are made of glycerophospholipids, molecules composed of glycerol, a phosphate group, and two fatty acid chains.
