Crystalline

... bubbles in the ice that cause it to expand b. When water freezes, the covalent bonds lengthen and crystals form. c. When water freezes, it forms a crystalline structure in which the hydrogen bonds are perfectly aligned. This alignment causes the water molecules to be held at "arm's length" ...

... about? I know this can also happen with water but I'm not sure it's for the same reason because the most organized ice is clear. Only when the crystalline structure is disturbed (the ice is fractured, aerated, etc.) does the solid water become opaque. So it seems that the transparent liquid ...

... Ezekiel saw structure of membrane looked like “ice” or “crystal” from cytoplasm toward outside. But it doesn't look like that, because it's not crystalline (unless you're very, very ill). The key word that's been missed is that it's a "fluid" bilayer. And s/he/it would be looking at ...
