The folds of the cell membrane on the free surface are known as microvilli. These folds will help in increasing the surface area of the cell membrane.

What are the 4 characteristics that eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells share?
The four features the cells share are listed here: 1. DNA 2. Cytoplasm 3. Ribosome 4. Plasma membrane
The cell membrane contains lipid molecules that?
The cell membrane contains lipid molecules that provide a barrier to the free movement of ions into and out of the cell.
What protects the nucleus in a cell?
Nuclear membrane is a thin membrane surrounds and protects the nucleus.
Some ribosomes are free in the cytoplasm while others line the membrane of the?
Cell Wall
What part of the cell membrane is polar and allows the cell to exits in water?
The cell membrane is made out of two layers , a nonpolar and polar part. The polar part is the hydrophilic part , meaning water loving , and the nonpolar is hydrophobic part - water hating. The polar/hydrophilic part is inside of the membrane and the outer portion is the hydrophobic/nonpolar . You don't want the cell to exist in water or be soluble in water because then we would dissolve , all our cells , tissues etc. That's why the cell membranes outer portion is nonpolar and is not miscible with water . The cell membrane allows water molecules to come in and out of the cell by osmosis , and that is when water molecules can free out and in of the cell through the cell membrane .
When a cell membrane is damaged by a free radical which specific component of the cell membrane is damaged?
cholestrol
What cell membrane have?
Eukaryotes have membrane bound organelles. But not all organelles are bound by a membrane, for example free ribosomes.

What protects the nucleus in a cell?
Nuclear membrane is a thin membrane surrounds and protects the nucleus.
What three things are in all cells?
I guess a Nucleus, Nucleolus and cytoplasm?
What cells contain membrane-bound internal structure?
Organelles.
Why acetone free methanol in lieshmans stain?
methanol for fixing the smear and acetone free to avoid cell membrane lysis
What 2 organelles were once free?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts used to be free-living. They used to be prokaryotes, but they got enveloped by other prokaryotes and their membrane became a double membrane because the first one stayed and the second one came from it being enveloped. Their DNA is also similar to prokaryote DNA. Their original cell membrane is also similar to a prokaryote's cell membrane.
Why acetone free absolute alchohol is used in leishman stain?
because it dissolves cell membrane
Is protein sythesis a function made by the cell membrane?
No, the site of protein synthesis is the ribosomes, free and bound. The ribosome is the " workbench " on which proteins are made. Proteins can be imbedded in the membrane and can span the membrane.
What types of cell junctions connect cells within tissues?
The apical surface does not have any cell junctions because it is a free surface exposed to things that are not epithelial cells. The lateral surfaces of an epithelial cell, which face the adjacent cells on either side contain tight junctions, adherens junctions, desmosomes and/or gap junctions. The basal surface of an epithelial cell adhere to extracellular materials like the basement membrane. Hemidesmosomes anchor the epithelium to the basement membrane in the basal surface.
