Because the electricity applied is below the cells’ threshold, it allows the cells to repair their phospholipid bilayer and continue on with their normal cell functions. Source: Internet
Composition Asymmetry A fluid membrane model of the phospholipid bilayer. Source: Internet
Each ion species has its own corresponding protein channel located in the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane. Source: Internet
Finally, these conductive pores can either heal, resealing the bilayer or expand, eventually rupturing it. Source: Internet
Fluidity The hydrophobic core of the phospholipid bilayer is constantly in motion because of rotations around the bonds of lipid tails. citation Hydrophobic tails of a bilayer bend and lock together. Source: Internet
Glucose, sodium ions, and chloride ions are just a few examples of molecules and ions that must efficiently cross the plasma membrane but to which the lipid bilayer of the membrane is virtually impermeable. Source: Internet
