What indicates how easy it is for a substance to cross the plasma membrane?
Whether it's charged or not, hydrophilic, hydrophobic and its size.
The hydrophilic regions of a membrane protein are most likely to be found?
The hydrophilic regions of a transmembrane protein are likely to be found on the exterior of the membrane. The transmembrane protein may have three parts: a hydrophilic segment, a hydrophobic segment, and another hydrophilic segment. The hydrophobic region would be in between the hydrophilic regions. The hydrophobic region will be embedded in the membrane and the hydrophilic regions will be on the inside and outside of the membrane.
Which substance that is found between the cell membrane and the nucleus which primarily consists of water and holds organelles?
Which of the following is a substance that is found between the cell membrane and the nucleus, which primarily consists of water and holds organelles?
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.
What is a substance that is found between the cell membrane and the nucleus what primarily consists of water and holds organelles?
Cytoplasm

Which of the following is a substance that is found between the cell membrane and the nucleus which primarily consists of water and holds organelles?
The answer is the cytoplasmExplanation..Cytoplasm is the substance between the cell membrane and the nucleus which primarily consists of water and holds organelles.-------------------------------------------------------------------
Which end of the plasma membrane is hydrophilic?
The "head" of the membrane, the phosphate.
Functions of integral membrane protein?
Integral proteins are found within the membrane and have hydrophobic regions embedded within the membrane and hydrophilic regions that project from both surfaces of the bilayer Many integral proteins are glycoproteins, which have an attached carbohydrate chain. As with glycolipids, the carbohydrate chain of sugars projects externally. There- fore it can be said that the plasma membrane is "sugar- coated." The plasma membrane is asymmetrical: the two halves are not identical. The carbohydrate chains of the glyco-lipids and proteins occur only on the outside surface and the cytoskeletal filaments attach to proteins only on the inside surface
What is A membrane protein with a carbohydrate chain?
A membrane protein with a carbohydrate chain is called glycoprotein
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 hydrophilic substance have an easier time passing through membranes than do hydrophobic substance?
It has a harder time passing through. The inside of the membrane is hydrophobic, so something hydrophilic (water-loving), will not be liked by the hydrophobic (water-fearing) membrane.
