A plasma membrane is found in which type of cells?
Virtually all cells contain a cell membrane, including plants and animals.
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
What is a place where both DNA and ribosomes are unlikely to found in any type of cell?
Golgi ApparatusGolgi apparatus
What type of molecule is embedded in cell membranes?
Proteins are often found embedded in the cell membrane. These proteins are called transmembrane or inter-membrane proteins.Cholesterol molecules are also found embedded in the hydrophobic interior of the cell membrane in many species
What type of plasma membrane transport is used for gas exchange?
Diffusion
What type of molecule acts as a gate for substances to enter or leave the cell?
plasma membrane
What type of Phospholipids that make up the plasma membrane?
the one in plasma membrane
A plasma membrane is found in which type of cells?
Virtually all cells contain a cell membrane, including plants and animals.
What type of membrane is membrane plasma?
The plasma membrane is referred to as a biological membrane or bio-membrane.Briefly, the plasma membrane may also be generally referred to as cell membrane.

How are phospholipids oriented in the plasma membrane?
The plasma membrane and other membranes of a cell are composed mostly of proteins and a type of lipid called phospholipids. A phospholipids molecule is structured with two fatty acids. The two fatty acids at one end (the tail) of the phospholipids are hydrophobic (not attracted to water). The other end (the head) of the molecule includes a phosphate group, which is negatively charged and hydrophilic (attracted to water). Thus, the tail end of a phospholipids is pushed away by water, while the head is attracted to water.
