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.

Lipids are a major component of the cell's?
Plasma membrane
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
Are plasma membrane outermost component of all cells?
No. Some secrete a covering.
Is protein the component of the plasma membrane that may act as a doorway for charged particles?
No
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.
What separates the intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments?
The barrier that separates the interstitial fluid from the intracellular fluid is the plasma membrane. The interstitial fluid is a major component of the extracellular fluid.
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.
WHAT IS THE cell most responsible for maintaining homeostasis in all cell?
The plasma membrane is the structure that is most responsible for maintaining cell homeostasis. The plasma membrane is also known as the cell membrane.
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.
