Inside the plasma membrane of the amoeba is a layer of cytoplasm called?
Ectoplasm
Do protozoans have cell walls?
No, amoeba's do not have a cell wall but they do have a plasma membrane.
Give the Chemical nature of plasma membrane and cell wall?
plasma membrane is made of organic molecules called lipds and proteins
What is a temporary extenstion of cytoplasm and plasma membrane that helps an amoeba move is called?
pseudopodium
What term describes the structure of a cell plasma membrane because of its oily nature and embedded nature?
fluid mosaic

How does nutrients enter a cell?
The plasma 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 basic strcture of a cell membrane?
Cell membrane is elastic and transparent. It can be impermeable, permeable, semi-permeable or selectively permeable. In humans the plasma membrane is selectively permeable that is it allows entry to certain substance.
If a tiny hole is made in a plasma membrane it usually heals immediately and no harm results What property of the plasma membrane allows this?
The plasma membrane forms the external boundary of the cytoplasm of a cell. The fluid property of its lipid bilayer allows a tiny hole to heal.
How is the plasma membrane of the liver cell?
plasma membrane
Compare and contrast the functions of a cell wall to the functions of a plasma membrane?
The differences between cell wall and cell membrane are:Cell wall is made of cellulose while plasma membrane is made of lipids & proteins.Cell wall is freely permeable but cell membrane is selectively permeable.Cell wall is dead but plasma membrane is living.Cell wall is rigid but plasma membrane is smooth, elastic and flexible.Cell wall is found only in plant cells but plasma membrane is found in all liviing cells.
