Briefly describe the structure of a cell membrane How does the cell membrane affect the contents of a cell?

Answer 1

Cell Membranes play very vital roles in the physiology of the cells. They insulate the cells interior from the interior by separating it from it's environment.

It is highly selective and pass only the molecule that is required by the cell and the correct time.

It also filters the environmental signals that are passed into the cells, by the receptors that are present on it.

They are in some cases, like that of few bacteria, site of important physiological activities like respiration.

They also control the thermal insulation though their fatty acid constituents.

Answer 2

So, basically, the cell membrane is on the outside of the cells. Think of you skin, to the cell the cell membrane is its skin, this is the best way to picture it, but The cell membrane is also used by the cell to engulf or eat things... Good Luck

Answer 3

The cell membrane has multiple functions. Obviously, it is responsible for keeping everything where it should be. It keeps everything inside the cell (e.g., organelles), and everything that should stay outside (e.g., viruses) from getting in. But that is not all, the cell membrane does not just separate the inside of the cell from the outside of the cell. It provides flexibility to the cell. It also creates a semi-permeable membrane, therefore letting osmosis occur. Without the cell membrane, cells would not be able to maintain equilibrium, and no cells would be able to survive.

Answer 4

The cell membrane is in all cells, the cell membranes job is to protects the cell from diseases
it gives the cell the shape

Answer 5

It selectively lets things transport into and out of the Cell.

Answer 6

It controls what goes in and out of the cell.

Answer 7

Acts as a protective layer and allows materials to enter or leave.

Answer 8

it controles movement and substances
