CELL OUTLINE I. Cell Defined living structural and functional units enclosed by a membrane arise from existing cells by cell division different types fulfill unique roles that support homeostasis and contribute to the functional capabilities of human organisms the form of the cell follows the function II. Parts of a Cell A. Plasma Membrane - (page 62) form?s the cell?s flexible outer surface, has a permeable barrier that regulates flow of materials in and out of cell. Also plays a key role in communication among cell. (outside layer of cell) i. Phospholipid Bilayer - basic framework of the plasma membrane. - 2 back-to-back layers - 3 types lipid molecules phospholipid 75% cholesterol 20% glycolipid 5% - amphipathic - have both polar and nonpolar parts
