Membrane fluidity refers to the ability of the lipid bilayer in a cell membrane to move and change its shape. It is crucial for maintaining proper cell function and allows molecules to move freely within the membrane.
These are the main components of the lipid bilayer that make up cell membranes.
This molecule plays a role in regulating membrane fluidity by preventing excessive movement of phospholipids.
Permeability: Refers to how easily substances can pass through a biological membrane.
