Cellular membranes are known to participate in several biological functions in addition to providing cellular integrity. Interestingly, in a small nanometric thickness, they offer a range of polarity, viscosity, and heterogeneity in addition to their lateral organizational diversity, which makes biological membranes a unique medium to carry out several cellular reactions. In this chapter, we have discussed the membrane architecture, physical properties, and its contribution to several biological functions.<br>
