Membrane
The membrane is a thin layer that separates two compartments or regions. It can be found in various biological systems, such as cells, organelles, and even viruses.
- Cell membranes are essential for regulating the passage of substances into and out of the cell.
- Organelle membranes compartmentalize cellular functions, allowing different processes to occur simultaneously.
- Viral membranes enclose the genetic material and protect it from the environment.
Membranes are typically composed of a phospholipid bilayer, with proteins embedded within or attached to the surface. This structure allows for selective permeability, meaning that only certain substances can pass through.
