Do red blood cells have a cell membrane?

Yes, red blood cells (erythrocytes) have a cell membrane, but they don't contain a nucleus- thus they're described as enucleate.


What cell has a membrane bound organelle that is domain?

red blood cell, white blood cell, bone marrow


Plasma membranes that have been isolated from red blood cell are not contaminted by internal cell membane?

Plasma membranes isolated from a red blood cell will not be contaminated with internal cell membrane (i.e. membrane from cell organelles - small structures found within cells) because red blood cells do not contain any organelles, so there will be no 'internal membrane' to contaminate.


What substance accounts for the flexibility of the membrane of the red blood cell?

choline


Is red blood cell membrane an excitable tissue?

What are the outer layer of a human red blood cell?

The outer layer of an animal cell is called the cell membrane. It controls what can go into and come out of the cell.


What is The difference between leaf cells and red blood cells?

The difference between a red blood cell and a leaf is that a leaf contains chlorophyll to make it green instead of haemoglobin that makes a red blood cell red. A leaf has many chloroplasts when a red blood cell does not but a red blood cell has a dimple. Both have a cell membrane but only a leaf has a cell wall. Hope this helps you.


How is Osmosis in red blood cells?

Osmosis is the diffusion of molecules from where they are abundant to where they are scarce through a semi permeable membrane. In red blood cells, this semi permeable membrane is the cell membrane. If red blood cells were placed in a solution abundant with water molecules, they would diffuse into the cells through the membrane


What is the effect of the NaCL 0.3 percent in red blood cell?

WATER movies across the cell membrane by Osmosis


Does the red blood cell have a membrane?

Yes.The red blood cell membrane is composed of threelayers:the glycocalyx in the exterior which is rich in carbohydrates;the lipid bilayer which contains many trans membrane proteins ,besides its lipidic main constituents and the membrane skeleton, a structural network of proteins located on the inner surface of the lipid bilayer.In human erythrocytes, like most other mammal erythrocytes,half of the membrane mass is represented by proteins and other half are lipids,namely phospholipids and cholesterol.


How has red blood cell adapted to membrane surface area?

The red blood cell's biconcave shape increases its surface area for diffusion. The lack of a nucleus makes this shape possible.
