We have a page on the basic structure of the cell membrane and other membranes within the cell. They are basic bilayers made of lipids that surround the cell and organelles. The lipid bilayer is not smooth because there are a variety of proteins attached to the surface and embedded in the membrane. You will find millions of embedded protein molecules when you look at the cell membrane. Each type of protein has a specific purpose. Examples of membrane proteins include ion channels, receptor proteins, and proteins that allow cells to connect to each other. You will learn about two types of membrane proteins: peripheral proteins and integral proteins. Peripheral proteins have weaker and temporary connections to the membrane.
