What city analogy compares to a cell membrane?
if a cell membrane was in a city what would it be?
Why does the cell membrane acts like a fluid?
The cell membrane acts like a fluid because of its phospholipid bilayer. Phospholipids are designed in such a way that they are prevented from packing tightly together allowing molecules to drift around in the membrane. This is commonly called fluid mosaic.
How do the gates function in a similar way to a cell membrane?
Gates function in a similar way to a cell membrane because they regulate entry and exit of people into homes just like the cell membrane controls movement of substances into and out of the cell.
What properties of cells allows them to maintain homeostasis?
The cell membrane, a complicated part of the cell maintains homeostasis. There is a lot of chemistry to it and the way that the membrane is made up of maintains homeostasis.
What is the protective outer covering of a cell that regulate the interaction between the cell and the environment?
Its the cell membrane (or plasma membrane), composed of phospholipid bilayer ,membrane proteins and cholesterol in eukaryotes. the regulation is largely by way of signalling molecules that interact with specefic receptors on the membrane (mostly proteins or glycoproteins). hope that helps Dr. David
What is cell membrane define?
every living cell is surronded byu a living membrane called cell membrane which allows the passage of some molecules preventing the passage of others in this way maintains the internal composition to constant or nearly constant.
What is the passage way into the cell?
What is the passage way into the cell?
What does call membraen do?
I guess you are asking of cell membrane.if it is true then the answer is as follows. cell membrane is the semi-permeable in its function i.e. it works as barrier which allows the passage of some molecules whiule preventing the passage of others in this way maintain the internal composition of the cell to constant or nearly constant.

Why is the cell membrane called gatekeepers of the cell?
The cell membrane is a gatekeeper of the cell which means it chooses the cells intake. Any toxic substances will not be allowed in the cell. Water for example is a fluid that is perm permeable. Permeable means "allowing passage" and impermeable means "to not allow any passage". Cell membrane is made up of 2 layers of fat particles. Many of the protein are imbedded.
What the purpose of plasmodesmata?
Plasmodesmata are holes in the cell wall of plants and algae that allow the cellular transfer of of proteins and macromolecules in and out of the cell. The cell wall does not have gap junctions or intermembrane proteins like the cell membrane does, so the cell needed another way to allow passage into and out of the cell, which is where plasmodesmata developed.
How is the cell membrane and nuclear membrane different?
i think its different by the way it looks
What are proteins that stick into the cell membrane and pass all the way through called?
carbohydrate molecules ( they are attached to most of these proteins.)
Does the cell membrane contol what happends in the cell?
Constituents of the cell membrane control what goes in and out of the cell as well as how the cell interacts with its environment; so in a way, yes, it partially controls what happens inside a cell.
What does the cell wall and the cell membrane do in common in the plant cell?
The cell wall allows a lot of substances in which can be taken up by the cell whenever necessary and the cell membrane takes in the matierials required ,inside to the protoplasm.This way the cell wall and the cell membrane both help in the intake of materials required by the cell.
