In liver cells the inner motochodrial membranes are about 5x the area of the outer mitochondrial membranes and about 17x that of the cell's plasma membrane what purpose must this serve?
It increases the surface for oxidative phosphoryation.
What are the differences between the plasma membrane and other membranes?
plasma membrane and other membranes are the same
How many membranes are around the plasma membrane?
The plasma membrane is a bi-layer, so two.
Photosynthetic bacterial membranes are located in the?
Plasma Membrane
What is the system of membranes and tubes connecting nuclear membrane and plasma membrane?
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Plasma membranes consist of what kind of membrane?
A phospholipid bilayer.
When vesicles from the Golgi apparatus deliver their contents to the exterior of the cell they add their membranes to the plasma membrane. The plasma membrane does not increase in size because?
The membrane is continually being lost from the plasma membrane by endocytosis

Example of Semi permeable membrane?
Animal cell membranes are a semi-permeable membrane.
How plasma membrane diffuse across plasma membrane?
Ions can't diffuse across membranes, they must used channels to transport across
Why is the nuclear membrane twice as thick as the plasma membrane?
because the nucleus is surrounded by a nuclear envelope - a double membrane. since it has 2 membranes it is twice as thick as a single plasma membrane
Are plasma membranes in every living cell?
Yes, Plasma membrane is present in every living cell.
