What molecules are on the outer surface of the plasma membrane?
Wiki User
∙ 15y ago
The outside surface of the plasma membrane is made of a layer of molecules called phospholipids, which have hydrophobic and a hydrophilic parts. The hydrophilic parts are on the outside surface, attracted by the water and other hydrophilic molecules outside the cell. There are also proteins of various kinds attached to and embedded in this outer layer.

The continuous part of the plasma membrane is the?
The continuous part of the plasma membrane is the outer layer.
Where does the plasma membrane of animals contain carbohydrates?
On the outer side of the membrane.
What is the outer layer of a cell that acts as a gatekeeper to a cell?
Cell Membrane
What has a membrane?
In animal cells, mitochondria have two membranes - the outer membrane which separates it from the rest of the cytoplasm and the inner membrane which provides a great deal of surface area for aerobic respiration to occur on.
Size of the plasma membrane in an animal cell?
The average is 7 nanometres in width (from outside to inside the cell).
On the outer surface of the plasma membrane there are marker molecules that identify the cell-type Often these molecules are?
These molecules are typically membrane carbohydrates. These assist in the identification of the type of cell.
What is use of the plasma membrane?
plasma membrane is the outer most covering of the cell,...
What componenet of the plasma membrane forms most of the cell's outer boundary?
The human cell has three principal parts which are the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and the nucleus. The outer boundary is the plasma membrane.
The continuous part of the plasma membrane is the?
The continuous part of the plasma membrane is the outer layer.
What is the outer covering of the animal cell?
membrane or plasma membrane.
Where does the plasma membrane of animals contain carbohydrates?
On the outer side of the membrane.
A cells boundary is called the what?
In animal cells, the plasma membrane forms the outer boundary of the cell. In fungi and plant cells, a cell wall exists outside the plasma membrane. Gram-positive bacteria have outer cell walls, while Gram-negative bacteria possess inner and outer plasma membranes.
What is the microscopic level of relationship between form and function exemplified by?
Cellular receptors exist only on the outer surface of the plasma membrane
The outer covering of an animal cell?
The outer covering of an animal cell is the cell membrane. The outer covering of plant cells is the cell wall, which is much stronger and stiff.
What is the outer layer of a cell that acts as a gatekeeper to a cell?
Cell Membrane
What is the outer layer of a cell?
The outer layer of a cell is the cell membrane or plasma membrane
What organelle involved the processes of osmosis an diffusion?
Osmosis and diffusion take place across the plasma membrane, the outer "wall" of the cell. It is considered to be an organelle because it carries out a variety of functions. The cell membrane or plasma membrane is made up of a double layes of phosphorous and lipid molecules, known as the 'phospholipid bilayer'.
