: lamellae) in biology refers to a thin layer, membrane or plate of tissue.
It is believed that these disks are formed from vesicles, giving the lamellar sheet a lipid bilayer that plays a role in water diffusion.
[3] Chloroplasts are characterized by a system of membranes embedded in a hydrophobic proteinaceous matrix, or stroma.
The lamella comprises a mixture of polygalacturons (D-galacturonic acid) and neutral carbohydrates.
[5] The lipid bilayer core of biological membranes is also called lamellar phase.
