What acts like a cell wall?
The cell membrane acts like a wall and protects everything inside the cell. In both the plant cell and animal cell.
What is the function of the cell membrane as compared to the cell wall?
The cell membrane, acts as a second barriar. More protection. Keeps the stuff that pass through the cell wall. (only if its bad)
What does the cell wall act like?
The cell wall helps protect the rest of the cells, and acts as a protative shield against bacteria, and other harmful things
What acts as a barrier between the inside of the cell and the cell's environment?
Cell membrane
How does the plant cell wall react when it is placed under hypotonic medium?
It absorbs too much water through osmosis. The cell wall pressure acts to compensate the osmotic pressure, not allowing excessive increase of the cellular volume and the cell lysis.
What holds the cell together and acts as a wall?
the cell wall
What acts like a cell wall?
The cell membrane acts like a wall and protects everything inside the cell. In both the plant cell and animal cell.
Why is a cell wall importaint?
Cell wall protects the cell.It acts as outer covering.
Where does the cell wall do for the cell?
The cell wall surrounds the cell and acts as a semi-permeable membrane to allow only certain particles in and out.
What in cells is without the cells walls form the outside boundary that separates the cell from its environment?
In cells without a cell wall the cell membrane acts as the cell wall.
What is the cell wall's purpose in a plant cell?
A cell wall basically acts as an extra layer of protection for the cell: while animal cells only have cell membranes, a plant cell has a cell membrane with a cell wall around it. It also provides the cell with structural support and acts as a pressure vessel which is basically a filter that stops over-expansion when water enters the cell.
What is a cell wall for?
It keeps the cell "guts" in and other stuff out. The cell wall also acts as a transport system to move nutrients and needed molecules in and waste products out of the cell.
What is the function of the cell membrane as compared to the cell wall?
The cell membrane, acts as a second barriar. More protection. Keeps the stuff that pass through the cell wall. (only if its bad)
What role does a cell wall play?
A cell wall is found in only plant cells and it acts as a double protection for the plant. It has no real function at all
Which cells have the function of cell membrane in all cells?
no cell acts as a cell wall. cell walls are made of a two layers of lipids.
What does the cell wall act like?
The cell wall helps protect the rest of the cells, and acts as a protative shield against bacteria, and other harmful things
What acts as a barrier between the inside of the cell and the cell's environment?
Cell membrane
