The membrane is the most exposed part of the cell, it is chemically active and comes into contact with many chemicals. DNA here would be exposed to possible damage. Having the DNA enclosed in the nucleus and nuclear membrane better protects this very important "director" from potential damage.
What else can I help you with?
Which of these materials is not a major component of the plasma membrane?
This membrane is called the fluid mosaic model as it is a mixture of phospholipids, cholesterol, proteins and carbohydrates. It is mainly phospholipids. The proteins sort of float on the surface of the membrane like islands in the sea.Cholesterol is also found in the membrane. It prevents lower temperatures from inhibiting the fluidity of the membrane and prevents higher temperatures from increasing fluidity.
What is number one component of plasma membrane?
lipids and cholesterol
Which of the following is the most abundant component of the plasma membrane?
Phospholipids
What do prokaryotes and eukaryotes have in commmon?
DNA, proteins, plasma membrane
Is protein the component of the plasma membrane that may act as a doorway for charged particles?
No
What is the outermost component of all cells?
The outermost living part of a cell is the cell membrane. The cell membrane regulates what comes into the cell and what goes out of the cell. It is composed of a double layer of phospholipids and proteins.
What componenet of the plasma membrane forms most of the cell's outer boundary?
The human cell has three principal parts which are the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and the nucleus. The outer boundary is the plasma membrane.
Show you the Diagram of the plasma membrane with label on each component each component?
diagrams should include the correct orientation of the phospholipids, proteins, carbohydrate, and cholesterol in the membrane.
Which cell component forms pinocytic vesicles?
Plasma membrane is the cell component that forms pinocytic vesicles through the process of endocytosis. Pinocytic vesicles are small membrane-bound vesicles formed by invagination of the plasma membrane to bring in extracellular fluids.
Are plasma membrane outermost component of all cells?
Yes, the plasma membrane is the outermost component of all cells. It acts as a barrier that separates the interior of the cell from its external environment, controlling the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
What is found in prokaryotic cells?
A prokaryotic cell has DNA, ribosomes, plasma membrane an cytoplasm.
What is a prokaryotic cell found in?
A prokaryotic cell has DNA, ribosomes, plasma membrane an cytoplasm.
