A cross-sectional schematic illustrates a biological membrane as a phospholipid bilayer forming a curved vesicle. Polar, hydrophilic head groups (gray spheres) line the outer and inner surfaces, while hydrophobic fatty acyl tails (yellow) face inward, creating a nonpolar core. In the hierarchy of cell biology and biochemistry, this molecular assembly constitutes the lipid component of the plasma membrane (PM) or intracellular organelle membranes, enabling selective permeability, compartmentalization, and barrier functions within cells. No proteins, carbohydrates, or cholesterol are depicted.
