FAQs

What is the cell membrane made of? The cell membrane is primarily a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins, cholesterol, and carbohydrates.

Why is the cell membrane selectively permeable? Because its phospholipid bilayer allows some substances to pass easily while blocking others, helping maintain homeostasis.

What does “homeostasis” mean? Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment within the cell, essential for proper function.
