What is the substance with a constant composition that can be broken down into elements?
physical molecules with membranes
A folded memebrane that forms a network of interconnected compartments in the cytoplasm?
The folded membrane is called the endoplasmic reticulum.
Does the nervous system use chemical and electrical energy?
The two major features that distinguishes nervous tissue is that selective permeability to ions is controlled by voltage and receptor controlled channels and that the density of ion pumps is much greater than that found on non-excitable membranes. The potential difference between the inside and and outside of a cell (most neurons are negative with respect to outside the cell) is the result of moving ions. So it is a change in the chemical composition inside the cell that results in an electrical change.
What moves across the membranes by osmosis?
Solvent
Is osmosis a form of diffusion?
Yes. Osmosis is a special case of diffusion - in involves just water diffusing across a semipermeable membranes - like in cell membranes.
Which is not a function of the endomembrane system of the cell?
In your cell, this is where the endomembrane system comes in a cell image because one is studded with small ribosomes and one is not.
What does the endomembrane consist of?
Membranes suspended in cytoplasm within a eukaryotic cell. These cells can be found in both plants and animals.
What is the folded system of membranes that forms a network of interconnected compartment inside the cell?
This is called the endomembrane system. ER, Golgi and the like.
Why is not the mitochondrian classified as a part of endomembrane system?
Its structure is not derived from the ER In contrast to organelles of the endomembrane system, these organelles have at least two membranes separating the innermost space from the cytosol. Their membrane proteins aren't made by the endoplasmic reticulum, but by ribosomes in the cytoplasm and in the organelle itself.
What is endomembrane system and its functions?
The endomembrane system includes the nuclear envelope, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, various kinds of vacuoles, and the plasma membrane (not actually an endomembrane in physical location.
Do fungi have cell membranes?
Yes. Like plants they have both cell membranes and cell walls (but the cell walls have a different composition).
What is the function of the endomembrane system in cells?
The endomembrane system carries out critical functions in the cellThe endomembrane system is composed of the different membranes that are suspended in the cytoplasm within a eukaryotic cell.The endomembrane system includes the nuclear envelope, the golgi apparatus, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and some components of the plasma membrane.The endomembrane system is responsible for a variety of important cellular processes that include protein synthesis and transport, lipid transport, metabolism, and poison detoxification.Vesicles are small membrane segments that transfer polypeptides between and within the endomembrane system.The membranes within the endomembrane system differ in basic structure and function despite cooperation to achieve overall cellular needs.vesicle A membrane-bound compartment found in a cell.ribosome Small organelles found in all cells that are involved in the production of proteins by translating messenger RNA.polypeptide A long, continuous, and unbranched peptide. Proteins consist of one or more polypeptides arranged in a biologically functional way and are often bound to cofactors, or other proteins.
Cell lysosome composition?
They are packs with two membranes. They contain digestive enzymes
What is the substance with a constant composition that can be broken down into elements?
physical molecules with membranes
What is the difference between the two membranes of the mitochondria?
Inner membranes have folds.Outer membrane do not have
Why the inner membranes space has the same composition as that of cytosol?
because they transport the same particles like proteins etc
WHAT is the difference between visceral and parietal serous membrane?
Visceral serous membranes line organs. Parietal serous membranes line cavities.
