Cell Membrane Is Made Up Of Proteins And Lipids. Further elongation to longer chain fatty acids occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum. Four types of lipids that form lipid bilayers.
Cell membranes are also called plasma membranes. Fatty acid synthesis occurred in the cytosol and the product is palmitic (or hexadecanoic) acid. Other proteins and lipids can be added to the cell membrane.
The three major classes of membrane lipids are phospholipids, glycolipids, and cholesterol.
The process of the fusion of cell membrane with intracellular vesicles results into excretion of contents present in vesicles. Cell membranes are also called plasma membranes. Proteins and lipids are important components which form the cell membrane. They surround any living cell as a cover on cytoplasm.
