A cross-sectional schematic of a curved biological membrane shows a phospholipid bilayer (PLB) with hydrophilic head groups facing the aqueous exterior and interior and hydrophobic acyl tails forming the core. This molecular assembly constitutes the plasma membrane (PM) at the boundary of a cell, a higher-level structure in the cellular hierarchy. In cell biology, biochemistry, and biophysics, it is recognized for enabling selective permeability, compartmentalization, and signaling. The illustrated curvature reflects functions such as vesicle budding, endocytosis, and exocytosis at the cell surface.
