The Dynamic Structure of Cell Membranes

Your cells are actually held together by never stops moving. It is called the plasma membrane,

and it is definitely not a solid wall. Think of it as a fluid sandwich made of fats.

You have these phospholipids with water-loving heads and water-hating tails that automatically snap together to

form a barrier. It is dynamic, meaning everything slides around laterally like oil on water.

You have cholesterol in there to keep it stable and proteins acting like bouncers to let nutrients

in. There is even a fuzzy sugar coat on the outside called the glycocalyx that

acts as a cellular ID card, ensuring your body doesn't accidentally attack itself.
