Which organelle is involved in osmosis and diffusion?
plasma membrane
Which organelle makes the phospholipids that compose the cells plasma membrane?
The cellular membrane is the organelle that makes the phospholipids that compose the cells plasma membrane. This is made as a collection of proteins and lipids.
Is a Golgi apparatus made out of membranes or vesicles?
The Golgi apparatus is composed of a plasma membrane (this is the outer lining of the organelle). This is true for all organelles with in the cell. The Golgi apparatus also contains vesicles for transport of substances throughout hte cell.
How many membrane layers cover the nucleus?
There isn't a specific number of membranes that a eukaryote has, mainly because it is unknown how many organelles are in a cell and how many cells are in an organism. A eukaryotic cell is surrounded by one plasma membrane, but most organelles within the membrane are also covered with membranes, sometimes two in case of mitochondria or chloroplast.
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'.
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
What are eukaroytic cells surrounded by?
cell membranes and plasma membranes
What cells have internal membranes and plasma membranes?
Eukaryotic cells.
What is a membrand bound organelle?
A membrane-bound organelle is an organelle surrounded by a plasma membrane.
Which microbes have cell membranes?
Every microbe has cell membranes but only plants have plasma membranes...
What are organisms that have plasma membranes?
Eukaryotes
Why is the nuclear membrane twice as thick as the plasma membrane?
because the nucleus is surrounded by a nuclear envelope - a double membrane. since it has 2 membranes it is twice as thick as a single plasma membrane
How do the plasma membranes of Archaea differ from the plasma membranes of Eukarya?
In eukaryotes there are ester bonds between hydrocarbons.In archea there ether bonds.
Are cellular organelles associated with membranes?
Yes, all organelles within the cell are bound by membranes that are all made up of the same basic structure but have different kinds of proteins within them that allow them to have a distinct cellular function. These membranes are always in exchange with one another as well, things called vesicles will bud off from one membrane and fuse with another to deliver things from one organelle to another. So for example the nucleus is bound by the nuclear membrane and the cell is bound by the plasma membrane. Parts of the plasma membrane can bud off to form a vesicle, basically like a bubble and can travel to the nucleus (or any other organelle) where it will fuse with the nuclear membrane (or the membrane of the particular organelle) and deliver its contents into the interior of the organelle or simply deliver new membrane to that organelle. There is an entire branch of scientific research that is concerned with understanding how this whole process works and how membranes bud and form vesicles and fuse, and what is contained within the different membranes of the different organelles, its called membrane trafficking. Hope that helps!
Do plants cells have plasma membranes?
yes.
Does plasma membranes have molecules on their surface that identifies them?
No
