Biological Membrane

Molecular classification: Lipid Bilayer, Phospholipid, Membrane Protein, Glycolipid, Glycoprotein

Overview

A biological membrane is a selectively permeable barrier that separates the interior of a cell from its external environment or divides intracellular compartments. Its core structure is a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins and carbohydrates. It functions in selective permeability, compartmentalization, energy generation, signal transduction, and structural support.
