Their experiment involved extracting lipids from red blood cells and then spreading them out on a water surface to form a monolayer. •They then measured the area of the monolayer and found that it was twice the area of the surface area of the red blood cells. • This led them to conclude that the lipid bilayer model of the cell membrane must be correct. • Gorter and Grendel's work was a major breakthrough in the understanding of cell structure and function. • It helped to establish the lipid bilayer model of the cell membrane, which is still the accepted model today.
