Why is the plasma membrane called a unit membrane?
The plasma membrane is called a unit membrane because it is structurally and biochemically the same in all organelles, naturally including the pervasive endoplasmic reticulum. Besides this, it is recognized by all organelles as Portions of The Unit Membrane.
What is the plasma membrane aka phospholipid bilayer?
The plasma membrane is the limiting membrane of a cell. It is called Phospholipid Bilayer because it consists of proteins and lipids.
What outermost covering of the animal cell?
membrane or plasma membrane.
Why is a cell membrane called permeable?
because oil based fluids can get through it.
What is the serous membrane that is the external layer of a GI tract organ?
Because internal organs are called viscera, the portion of the serous membrane that attached to an organ is called the visceral layer.

What is a membrane envelope?
All viruses lack cell membranes but some animal viruses have a membrane similar in composition to a cytoplasmic membrane surrounding their capsids called an envelope. This is a membrane envelope. Viruses that have envelopes are called enveloped virion, without the envelope they are called a nonenveloped or naked virion. The envelope is composed of a phospholipid bilayer and proteins such as glycoproteins.

Why is a cell membrane sometimes called fluid?
Because it moves sideways.

What is the membrane of a plant called?
The membrane is inside the cell wall, and its just called the cell membrane.
What is the serous membrane that is the external layer of a GI tract organ?
Because internal organs are called viscera, the portion of the serous membrane that attached to an organ is called the visceral layer.
What is the name of the membrane that surrounds the vacuole?
It is called the vacuolar membrane.Sometimes it is referred to as the vacuole membrane. The membrane round the large central vacuole in plants it is also called the tonoplast.
Why is a cell membrane also called a mosaic?
because it boarders the cell like a mosiac
What is a substance that has a fixed composition and differs from a mixture because every sample has the exact same characteristics and every sample has the exact same composition?
called: Compound.
