What is phagocytosis and how does it work?
large particles or cells are engulfed by the cell plasma membrane
Why is the plasma membrane selectively permeable?
The plasma membrane is selectively permeable because it needs to allow certain things in and certain things out.The plasma membrane is a selectively permeable membrane as it allows the entry and exit of some selected substances only.
How do particles get in and out of the plasma membrane?
The movement is random, but there is a net movement from regions where there are lots of particles to ones where there are fewer particles.
Is protein the component of the plasma membrane that may act as a doorway for charged particles?
No
What is the process of moving particles across the plasma membrane?
well that depends on how long or tall it is!
What is the the method by which large particles and macromolecules enter the cell by an infolding of the plasma membrane?
Endocytosis
What is the plasma membrane function that keeps materials outside the cell from going inside?
The characteristic that a plasma membrane bears is the semi-permeability. This is what keeps certain materials in while keeping certain materials out.
What does plsma membrane do?
The plasma membrane, also known as the cell membrane, allows only certain material to pass into and out of the cell.
What is diffusion and how does it relate to plasma membrane?
Diffusion is simply the movement of one molecule from an area of high concentration to low concentration. It is semi related to the plasma membrane because plasma membrane does allow diffusion, to an extent. Plasma membrane is semipermeable and only allows certain things to diffuse in or diffuse out.
Why is plasma membrane flexible?
Because it is a semi permeable membrane IE. it only allows selective particles to go inside it and outside it.
How does nutrients enter a cell?
The plasma membrane.
Of which is the plasma membrane the ability to block most ions and polar compounds from crossing?
phospholipids
