Cell MEmbrane
The Cell Mambrane is one of the outer layers of the cell. It is made of glycerophospholipids (which include a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail) and two fatty acid chains. Cell Membranes act as barriers around the cell. They help protect the cell from viruses and infections. It is found in both plants and animals.
