What maintains the fludity of the membrane?
The way the membrane is organized according to the fluid-mosaic-model. Besides, the temperature has to be warm enough to allow moving.
The most important part of heating fluid in a test tube?
maintain a consistent temperature throughout
What is the purpose of cholesterol in a membrane?
Cholesterol helps stabilize the membrane at warm temperatures, but also helps keep the membrane fluid at lower temperatures.
What does fluid mosaic mean in reference to the plasma membrane?
A plasma membrane is described as mosaic because all the different components such as proteins and phospholipids, of varying shape and size, give the effect of the stones of a mosaic. It is described as fluid because these components can move freely within the membrane.
How does temperature correlate to the permeability of the cell membrane?
Cell membranes act very much like a fluid on a molecular level. The phospholipids move around each other with relative ease, making the membrane flexible. With an increase in temperature, the molecular movement will increase throughout the membrane thus leading to looser fits among molecules and a more permeable membrane.
What maintains the fludity of the membrane?
The way the membrane is organized according to the fluid-mosaic-model. Besides, the temperature has to be warm enough to allow moving.
What is designed to cushion the developing embryo and to help it maintain a constant temperature?
amniotic fluid
How does cholesterol help the cell membrane at 37 degrees Celsius?
Makes the membrane less fluid by restraining the movements of phospholipids, but also lowers the temperature required for the membrane to solidify.
Does the lipid portion of a plasma membrane act like a liquid at the temperature of the human body?
yes, it is fluid
The most important part of heating fluid in a test tube is to?
maintain a consistent temperature thoughout
The most important part of heating fluid in a test tube?
maintain a consistent temperature throughout
Effect of temperature on lipids in cell membrane?
the temperature effects the fluidity of the membrane. as the temperature decreases the fluid in the membrane will eventually become solid, this depends on the fatty acid present in the cell. however, a cell can alter the lipid composition of its membrane to some extent as an adjustment to changing temperature as a way of adoption to the colder weather.
What is the purpose of cholesterol in a membrane?
Cholesterol helps stabilize the membrane at warm temperatures, but also helps keep the membrane fluid at lower temperatures.
What is the membrane of fluid that holds the fetus in the mothers womb called?
The membrane is called the Amniotic Sac, and the fluid is the Amniotic Fluid
What is the fluid within a cells outer membrane?
the cytoplasm is the inside fluid of a cell membrane
What is the principle of the fluid mosaic model of cell membrane structure?
The plasma membrane is described to be fluid because of its hydrophobic integral components such as lipids and membrane proteins that move laterally or sideways throughout the membrane. That means the membrane is not solid, but more like a 'fluid'. The membrane is depicted as mosaic because like a mosaic that is made up of many different parts the plasma membrane is composed of different kinds of macromolecules, such as integral proteins, peripheral proteins, glycoproteins, phospholipids, glycolipids, and in some cases cholesterol, lipoproteins.
What is the membrane referred to as the fluid mosaic?
cell membrane
