The Cell Membrane, Bruce Lipton

YouTube Video

The cell membrane is the “brain” of the cell, serving a kind of control function for the internal workings of the cell. It also acts like a kind of “skin” whereby it interfaces between the inner and outer worlds of the cell. The cell membrane contains a forest of sugar molecules that form a layer of liquid crystal via their negative charge and the layer of water just surrounding it. This liquid crystal layer is a semi conductor and alongside gates and channels, it uses its natural charge to allow signals to enter the cell, or vice versa. Some other functions of the cell membrane include insulation, protection, transport, filtration, and communication.
