Proteins with a CAAX box are anchored to this structure by prenylation. One method of studying the dynamics of this structure is Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching, or FRAP. The polarity of this structure is maintained by flippases and scramblases. Constituents of it are used to synthesize prostaglandins and IP3. Singer and Nicholson modeled this structure as a two-dimensional liquid crystal within which (*) proteins freely diffuse, known as the fluid mosaic model. Its constituents contain polar head groups and hydrophobic tails, which form a bilayer. In plants, this phospholipid-laden structure lies just inside the cell wall. For 10 points, name this structure that protects cells from the outside world.
