 Name: ___________________________ The Cell Membrane­ Basic Structure What are some other names for the cell membrane? A single unit that makes up the cell membrane is called a ________________________ It looks like this: How does the polarity of these units make phospholipids behave when they cluster in a polar solution (like water)? Why? Draw a picture of a double layer of phospholipids (as found in the cell membrane) below. Label the polar and nonpolar regions of the diagram.
