On B-cell activation by antigen, it proliferates into antibody secreting plasma cells and memory cells. Plasma cells function in adaptive immunity. Specific secreted antibodies by plasma cells then bind to extracellular microbes, block their ability to infect host cells and promote their ingestion and subsequent destruction by phagocytes.

What will happen to the cell if the plasma membrane does not function well?
It will explode.
Another name for plasma membrane?
A cell membrane is also known as a plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane. The cell membrane separates the interior of a cell from its outside environment. The main function of a cell membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings.
What is the structure and the function of the plasma membrane?
It has selective permeability (allows it to control what comes in and out of the cell) and it isolates the cytoplasm.
What gives the cell its shape and provides protection?
The cell wall or membrane is the one that shapes and protects the cell. It has the function of controlling what comes into and out of the cell.
An animal cell lacking oligosaccharides on the external surface of its plasma membrane would likely be impaired in which function?
Cell-cell recognition and STOP CHEATING ON UR BIO HW lol

What is the function of a plasma membrane cell?
to hold the insides of the cell together the cell wall lets thing in and out
What is the function of the cell selectively permeable plasma membrane?
it regulates what materials enter and leave the cell
What are the specializations of the plasma membrane?
The plasma membrane has one very specific function: Control over what enters or leaves the cell.
What do you think will happen to the cell if the plasma membrance does not function?
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 blood part carries chemicals to regulate cell growth and organ function?
plasma
Is membrane permeability a major function of the plasma protein in the blood?
yes, cell membranes are semipermeable.
What is the function of the carbohydrates that stick out if the plasma membrane?
The carbohydrates help identify chemical signals and define the characteristics of the cell.
What is the function of a plasma membrane in a sperm cell?
it helps control what goes in and out of the cell. It also help protect the nucleus, and the inside of the sperm.
