- The composition of a cell membrane is not uniform for all types of cells.Some cell membranes are more rigid than others. Rigidity is determinedby a variety of factors, one of which is the structure of the carbon chains in the phospholipids that comprise the membrane. One example of aphospholipid was drawn, and another, having C–C double bonds in its carbon chains, is drawn here. Which phospholipid would be present in the more rigid cell membrane and why?Define the term phospholipid bilayer?Which of the following correctly describes the structure of the phospholipid bilayer in plasma membranes? The polar hydrophilic groups of each leaflet face outward, toward the aqueous environment on either side of the membrane. A The non-polar hydrophobic groups of each leaflet face inward, toward each other. The non-polar hydrophilic groups of each leaflet face outward, toward the aqueous environment on either side of the membrane. B The polar hydrophobic groups of each leaflet face inward, toward each other. The polar hydrophilic groups of each leaflet face inward, toward each each other. The non-polar hydrophobic groups of each leaflet face outward, toward the aqueous environment on either side of the membrane. The non-polar hydrophilic groups of each leaflet face inward, toward each each other. The polar hydrophobic groups of each leaflet face outward, toward the aqueous environment on either side of the membrane.

The individual glycerophospholipid molecules that aggregate become covalently linked to each other to form a lipid bilayer. 4. The interfacial region of a lipid bilayer is polar due to the polar head groups of the lipid molecules that make up the bilayer.
