The Role of the Plasma Membrane (835 words, 2 pages)

Being one of the most important components of a cell, the plasma membrane, or cell membrane plays a huge role in regulating how things get in and out of cells. The plasma membranes unique structure enables it to let only certain molecules pass through the cell. This ability is called ... Read More

The Importance of the Cellular Plasma Membrane (775 words, 2 pages)

The plasma membrane is the boundary of life this selectively permeable membrane allows the cell to maintain a unique internal environment and to control the movement of materials into and out of the cell. The phospholipid bilayer (fluid mosiac model) with specific membrane proteins accounts for he selective permeability of ... Read More

An Analysis of Every Cell Surrounded By a Plasma Membrane (386 words, 1 pages)

Every cell is surrounded by a plasma membrane. The cell membrane is selectively permeable- only certain substances can cross it freely. The structure of the membrane allows materials to move across it by 2 main means active and passive transport. Password transport involves two processes Diffusion and Osmosis. Passive transport ...

Sodium Potassium Transportation through Plasma Membrane (864 words, 2 pages)

Due to the nature of amphotericity and the conformation of plasma membrane, large or ionic molecules can not permeate through plasma membrane freely. To help with those transportations, protein involved transports are adopted. One of which is active transport, that uses energy to move substrates against electrochemical gradient. Among many ...

Plasma Membrane and Homeostasis of Cells (601 words, 1 pages)

9.1 PLASMA MEMBRANE I. All cells must maintain homeostasis in order to live. - they do this by controlling what materials can enter and leave II. All cells have a plasma membrane that is SELECTIVELY PERMEABLE - this only allows for specific things to enter and leave the cell A. ... Read More
