Plasma membrane What will be the orientation of plasma membranes main component?

Assuming the main component is phospholipis, the polar heads will be facing the aqueous solution, ie the extracellular environment and cytosol. The non-polar tails will be facing each other. This together creates a lipid bi-layer.

Photosynthetic bacterial membranes are located in the?
Plasma Membrane
When vesicles from the Golgi apparatus deliver their contents to the exterior of the cell they add their membranes to the plasma membrane The plasma membrane does not increase in size because?
The membrane is continually being lost from the plasma membrane by endocytosis
Which component of the cell membrane might contribute to maintaining the fluidity of plasma membranes under freezing conditions?
Cholesterol found between the phospholipids can keep the membrane from becoming too viscous during freezing conditions.
Lipids are a major component of the cell's?
Plasma membrane
Why is the nuclear membrane twice as thick as the plasma membrane?
because the nucleus is surrounded by a nuclear envelope - a double membrane. since it has 2 membranes it is twice as thick as a single plasma membrane
What are the differences between the plasma membrane and other membranes?
plasma membrane and other membranes are the same
Show you the Diagram of the plasma membrane with label on each component each component?
diagrams should include the correct orientation of the phospholipids, proteins, carbohydrate, and cholesterol in the membrane.
How many membranes are around the plasma membrane?
The plasma membrane is a bi-layer, so two.
Photosynthetic bacterial membranes are located in the?
Plasma Membrane
What is the system of membranes and tubes connecting nuclear membrane and plasma membrane?
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Plasma membranes consist of what kind of membrane?
A phospholipid bilayer.

Example of Semi permeable membrane?
Animal cell membranes are a semi-permeable membrane.
Lipids are a major component of the cell's?
Plasma membrane
How plasma membrane diffuse across plasma membrane?
Ions can't diffuse across membranes, they must used channels to transport across
