What else can I help you with?
Does an increase in cholesterol affect membrane permeability?
Yes, an increase in cholesterol can affect membrane permeability by making the cell membrane less fluid and more rigid, which can impact the movement of molecules in and out of the cell.
How does the cell membrane affect the contents of the cell?
It selectively lets things transport into and out of the Cell.
What does corn syrup do to an egg membrane?
it absorbs a majority of the corn syrup and sores it in it's membrane
Which cell structure does phospholipid affect the function of?
The cell membrane and the membranes of all of their organelles are made of phospholipids.
What is the impact of increased cholesterol levels in the plasma membrane and how does it affect cellular function?
Increased cholesterol levels in the plasma membrane can lead to decreased fluidity and flexibility of the membrane. This can affect cellular function by impairing the movement of molecules in and out of the cell, disrupting cell signaling pathways, and potentially leading to cell damage or dysfunction.
What would happen to a animal cell placed in corn syrup?
When an animal cell is placed in corn syrup, which is a hypertonic solution, water will move out of the cell to balance the concentration of solutes outside. This loss of water causes the cell to shrivel and potentially undergo plasmolysis, where the cell membrane pulls away from the cell wall. The result is that the cell may become dehydrated and impaired in its functions.
How does the decrease in cholesterol affect membrane fluidity?
A decrease in cholesterol can increase membrane fluidity because cholesterol helps to stabilize the cell membrane and reduce its fluidity. When cholesterol levels decrease, the cell membrane becomes more fluid and flexible, which can impact the overall structure and function of the cell.
What Controls what moves in and out of the cell?
Cell membrane
Another name for plasma membrane?
A cell membrane is also known as a plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane. The cell membrane separates the interior of a cell from its outside environment. The main function of a cell membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings.
What is the thin flexible membrane around all cells?
the cell membrane is as flexible barrier outside of the cell.
Which of the following factors does not affect membrane permeability?
The presence of membrane proteins does not directly affect membrane permeability. Membrane proteins mainly play a role in transport, signaling, and cell recognition rather than impacting the permeability of the membrane itself.
Which contains the other cell membrane or phospholipid?
the cell membrane
