What structure in the membrane causes plasma membranes to resist freezing?
Unsaturated fatty acids tails.
Do bacterial plasma membranes contain sterols?
Many bacterial plasma membranes do contain a sterol like membrane called hopanoids. Hopanoids are a natural pentacylic compound, this is based on the chemical structure hopane.
A membrane that encloses a versatile plant compartment that may hold reserves of organic compounds or inorganic ions?
A membrane that encloses a versatile plant compartment that may hold reserves of organic compounds or inorganic ions tonoplast. The presence of cholesterol in the plasma membranes of some animals enables the membrane to stay fluid more easily when cell temperature drops.
What is the percentage of organic substances found in blood plasma?
Plasma contains approx 91.5% water and 8.5% solutes-Approx 70% of solutes are proteinsAlbuminsGlobulinsCoagulating Factors-Approx 20%Non-protein organic compounds NutrientsMetabolic wastesOrganic Acids-Approx 10% Inorganic compounds saltsbuffersgases
Is phospholipid one of the structured lipid found in cell membranes?
Yes,they are found in plasma membrane.They form the basic structure.
What is the blood plasma job?
it nourishes the blood cells and supplies organic and in organic compounds to each and every cell in the body
What structure in the membrane causes plasma membranes to resist freezing?
Unsaturated fatty acids tails.
Do bacterial plasma membranes contain sterols?
Many bacterial plasma membranes do contain a sterol like membrane called hopanoids. Hopanoids are a natural pentacylic compound, this is based on the chemical structure hopane.
Why is the skin permeable to organic solvents?
Because they can dissolve the lipid bilayers of epidermal and dermal cell plasma membranes.
Do proteins at the inner surface of the plasma membrane attach to the membrane to the cells support the structure?
yes

What are the differences between the plasma membrane and other membranes?
plasma membrane and other membranes are the same
Are plasma membranes only found in plant cells?
no animal cells also have plasma membranes
Is phospholipid one of the structured lipid found in cell membranes?
Yes,they are found in plasma membrane.They form the basic structure.
What are eukaroytic cells surrounded by?
