the cell membrane is composed of carbohydrates, proteins, and phospholipids. The proteins act as transport molecules to move material in and out of the cell (kind of like a tunnel). They are embedded in the membrane. These proteins are needed due to the phospholipid bilayer. The inside of the bilayer repels water, so this keeps all materials out of the cell unless it has been selected to be carried in by the proteins. The carbohydrates are located on the outside of the membrane. They recognize things the cell may need. For instance, ADH (Anti-diuretic hormone) is only needed in the kidneys, so the carbohydrates only recognize it there.

How are cell and cell-membrane alike?
They are the major structural components of the cell membrane.
Which is an appropriate description of the arrangement of the cell membrane?
selectively permeable
The smallest living structural and functional unit that is enclosed by a membrane?
cell
What function does the membrane preform in an animal cell?
Structural strength and protection.
Does a nucleolus give structural support to a cell?
nope , the nucleoulus makes ribosomes wich produce proteins. The cell membrane, cell wall, and the cytoskeleton, give structural suppport to the cell
The bilayer arrangement of molecules in a cell membrane give the cell a?
barrier

What structural feature of a cell membrane is missing from the liposome?
protein.

What membrane structural component is involved when water is entering the cell?
Osmosis

What organisms has the most complex cell wall?
The cell is the structural, functional, and biological unit of all organisms. It is a membrane-bound structure containing cytoplasm and cytoplasmic structures. The membrane that surrounds the cell and separates it from the outside environment is the cell membrane whereas a cell wall is another structural layer surrounding the cell, next to the cell membrane. visit our page : womenwhowin100 .com/women-entrepreneurs
Which is NOT an important structural feature on the surface membrane of an animal cell?
lipid bilayer
