The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The cell membrane is a lipid bilayer, usually consisting of phospholipids and glycolipids, eukaryotes and some archaea typically have sterols interspersed between them as well, maintaining appropriate membrane fluidity at various temperatures.
- The membrane also contains membrane proteins, including integral proteins that span the membrane and serve as transporters, and peripheral proteins that attach to the surface of the cell membrane, acting as enzymes to facilitate interaction with the cell's environment.
- Glycolipids embedded in the outer lipid layer serve a similar purpose.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Cell membrane article was read about 160,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 79 and blocks with 78: each hit it takes is cut by 31 %.
How to get Cell membrane
