A magnified diagram of a phospholipid bilayer showing unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) with cis double-bond kinks interspersed among straighter saturated chains. Hydrophilic phosphate heads face the extracellular and cytosolic aqueous phases, while hydrophobic acyl tails pack in the interior, forming the plasma membrane (PM) of a cell. In cell biology and biochemistry, this molecular membrane enables selective permeability, compartmentalization, and lateral diffusion, with UFA-induced disorder increasing membrane fluidity within the hierarchy of molecules composing a cellular boundary.
