What is the Plasma membrane lipid that improves the rigidity of the plasma membrane and increases the membrane's impermeability to water?
Type your answer here... cholesterol
Do the hydrophobic tails of plasma membrane promote osmosis?
No.Hydrophobic tails avoid water and line up in the center of the membrane and makes the plasma membrane impermeable to most water-soluble molecules.
What molecule crosses the plasma membrane by diffusion?
water
Which of these is hydrophobic like the interior of the plasma membrane?
glucose and water
What is the name for the movement of water across the plasma membrane?
Osmosis

Where does absorption of water and other needed material takes place?
At the cell membrane or plasma membrane
Does water surround cells?
No, they are surrounded by cell membrane aka plasma membrane. This is for ALL cells.
What allows water to cross the permeable membrane of an animal cell?
plasma membrane allows water to enter animal cell
What is a plasma membrane made of?
A plasma membrane is made of a phospolipid bi-layer. Think of a plasma membrane like a grilled cheese sandwich. The bread on the outside of the sandwich is similar to the polar head of the plasma membrane, and the cheese on the inside is similar to the fatty tails on the inside of the membrane. If you tried to run water through the grilled cheese sandwich it would not get through the cheese center, much like water will not get through the center of a plasma membrane.
Which of the following would likely move through the lipid bilayer of a plasma membrane most rapidly?
Water, or small hydrophobic compounds.
Osmosis can only if water travels through what?
Water molecules travel through the plasma membrane, tonoplast membrane. In biological systems, the solvent is typically water.
What membrane of the red cell will allow water oxygen carbon dioxide and glucose to pass through?
Plasma membrane
