The plasma membrane consists of a phospholipid bilayer that contains proteins. There are four types of proteins in the plasma membrane - structural protein, receptor protein, transport protein and glycoprotien.

What is the site of hormones synthesis?
Plasma (cell) membrance
What are the principle components of plasma membrance and membrance surrounding cell organelles?
Phospholipids are the principle component behind plasma membranes and the membranes surrounding cell organelles. They create a hydrophobic (water repellent) boundary that keeps what's needed in and what's not, out.
What is actively transported across plasma membranes?
name of the substance that is actively transported through the cell membrance of an animal cell
What consists of everything inside the plasma membrane of the cell?
protoplast
What controls the passage of molecules in and out of the cell?
Cell membrance

What is function of the cell membrance?
in a cell what is the function of the cell membrance
What is actively transported across plasma membranes?
name of the substance that is actively transported through the cell membrance of an animal cell
What will happen if the plasma membrance ruptures?
Plasma membrane defines the boundary of the cell and regulates the flow of material into and out of the cell. (if it got rupture) Ruptured plasma membrane generally heals within no time but if rupturing does not heal, the cell contents will spill over and cell is killed.
What do you think will happen to the cell if the plasma membrance does not function?

What is the largest part of the protoplasm?
Cell membrance
What does a cell membrane let pass in and out?
Cell membrance is a structure of cells
What is pinocytosis and phagocytosis accomplished by in a cell?
both are accomplished by cell membrance
How do the food molecules and nutrients enter a cell?
Phagcytosis: cell literally engulfs it (Yes, but that is when the cell already has enough and needs to take in more) Food never enters the cell, basic sugars do.
