Is the cytoskeleton in the plasma membrane?
No. It is attached to the plasma membrane though, which is important. The cytoskeleton gives cells shape and rigidity etc and so it is important for it to be attached to the plasma membrane. The cytoskeleton is composed of molecules that are located in the cytoplasm but that are attached to the plasma membrane via specific proteins. Hope that helps!
What are the molecules that give the cell membrane a mosaic structure?
protein molecules in the cell membrane gives the mosaic structure .
What are the functions of the plasma membrane in Eukaryotes?
Plasma membrane gives structure to the cell, serve as boundary. It allows the selective passage of molecules across the cell (semi permeable). Starts the signalling event from the receptors it posses on the membrane surface when there is a stimuli bind to it.
What molecules add support to plasma membrane?
The intrinsic properties of the hydrophilic/hydrophobic/hydrophilic double layer of the membrane gives it support, due to the hydrophobic effect.
Does the plasma membrane give strength to the cell?
It controls what enters and leaves a cell, it also gives it support and shape.

Keratinocytes are the most important of the epidermal cells because?
they produce a fibrous protein that gives the skin its protective properties.
Why is keratinocytesthe most important of the epidermal cells because why?
they produce a fibrous protein that gives the skin its protective properties
What are the molecules that give the cell membrane a mosaic structure?
protein molecules in the cell membrane gives the mosaic structure .
Difference between plasma membrane and cell wall?
wikipedia " plasma membrane" the membrane is thin bi-lipid (two-fat) layer that blocks out water the cell wall is a rigid cube like structure that surrounds a plant cell and gives it rigidity jd

What is protein found in flour and it is not gluten?
fibrous proteins - this type of protein has a spring like structure which gives it an elastic property (for example gluten in flour)
Compare and contrast the functions of a cell wall to the functions of a plasma membrane?
The differences between cell wall and cell membrane are:Cell wall is made of cellulose while plasma membrane is made of lipids & proteins.Cell wall is freely permeable but cell membrane is selectively permeable.Cell wall is dead but plasma membrane is living.Cell wall is rigid but plasma membrane is smooth, elastic and flexible.Cell wall is found only in plant cells but plasma membrane is found in all liviing cells.

Does the plasma membrane give strength to the cell?
It controls what enters and leaves a cell, it also gives it support and shape.
Fibrous material giving support to the plant?
vascular tissue. also known as xylem and phloem
What are the copmonents of the cell and what are there functions?
the main components of a cell are the nucleus the cytoplasm and the plasma membrane .the nucleus controls all life activities of the cell.the cytoplasm serves as a home for all the organelles and the plasma membrane also also called cell wall gives shape and support to the cell
