Do cheetahs have cell walls or membranes?

Cheetahs do not have cell walls. However, like all living organisms, they have cell membranes that surround and protect their cells. Cell membranes regulate the passage of substances in and out of the cell.


Do fungi have cell membranes?

Yes. Like plants they have both cell membranes and cell walls (but the cell walls have a different composition).

Are cell walls and cell membranes selectively permeable?

Cell membranes are selectively permeable while cell walls are semi-selectively permeable. Keep in mind that only low level organisms, like plants, have cell walls.


Why do plant cell membranes have a more boxed like shape?

Because they have a cell wall instead of a cell membrane like animal cells.


What do cell membranes look like and how do they function within a cell?

Cell membranes are composed of a double layer of phospholipid molecules with proteins embedded within them. These membranes have a fluid structure that allows them to regulate the passage of substances in and out of the cell. They function as a barrier to protect the cell and also play a role in cell communication and signaling. Additionally, cell membranes contain specialized proteins and channels that facilitate the transport of molecules across the membrane.
