Read on to know more. Cell membrane, also called plasma membrane, thin membrane that surrounds every living cell, delimiting the cell from the environment around it. Studies of the action of anesthetic molecules led to the theory that.

Unit membrane model research on membranes from a variety of sources is a very active and diverse area of investigation.

These kinds of studies are harbingers of a new generation of progress in the field of cell membranes.—y eagle, p.
