The only time a cell would be entering the plasma membrane would be with a white blood cell. The process is called phagocytosis, a form of endocytosis.

Does prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells contains plasma membrane?

Both eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells have a plasma membrane.


What membrane present in eukaryotes?

Eukaryotic cells have a double-layered membrane called the nuclear envelope that surrounds and protects the nucleus. Additionally, eukaryotic cells have a plasma membrane that encloses the entire cell and regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell.


The cell membrane also is called the?

The cell membrane is also known as the plasma membrane or the cytoplasmic membrane. It is a biological membrane that separates all cells' interior from the outside, though can be permeated by selection ions and molecules. Its basic function is to protect the cell from its surroundings.


Do plant and animal cells have a plasma membrane?

Yes, both plant and animal cells have a plasma membrane. The plasma membrane is a semi-permeable barrier that surrounds the cell and controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.


Why an animal plasma membrane is not responsible for the synthesis of ATP?

aniamal cells are eukaryotic cells meaning that they have a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles. One particular organelle is the mitochondria which produces mostt of the ATP for eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotes do not have a mitochondria so they must process ATP anaerobically in the plasma membrane via fermentation Again the main reason behind this is the absence of electron transporting complex proteins in the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells which are present in prokaryotic cells as well as in inner mitochondrial membrane. If there would have been the same complex as in prokaryotes then may be the mitochondrioa would have been of no use.

Do plant cell's animal cell's and bacterial cell's all have a plasma membrane?

Yes, all plant cells, animal cells, and bacterial cells have a plasma membrane. The plasma membrane is a semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cell and regulates the passage of molecules in and out of the cell.


Where is the plasma membrane?

Plasma membrane is the same as "cell membrane" it's one of the four characteristics of all cells. So plasma membrane is found "coating" the outside of all cells.


Cells engulfuing food?

Cells are capable of engulfing food by forming an invagination (a cavity in the cell membrane formed as a result of the movement of membrane lipids) in their plasma membrane. The engulfed food is then entrapped in a vesicle and transported to a specific location in the cell called the lysosome. The process is called phagocytosis

Do euglena have cell membrane?

Not only Euglena, all living cells have cell membranes. This cell membrane is called as plasma membrane, which is a cell membrane. Plant cells have an additional outer membrane, called as cell wall, made up of cellulose. Animal cells lack cell wall but have plasma membranes. They also both have a Nucleus, which is the centre of a cell and controls all the cells activities.
