The cell membrane acts like a fluid because of its phospholipid bilayer. Phospholipids are designed in such a way that they are prevented from packing tightly together allowing molecules to drift around in the membrane. This is commonly called fluid mosaic.

What acts like a cell wall?
The cell membrane acts like a wall and protects everything inside the cell. In both the plant cell and animal cell.
Why is the cell membrane said to be fluid?
It's not said TO BE an fluid its said to be Like a fluid because it is flexable and can stretch and move around
What part of the cell is referred to as to fluid mosaic model?
The cell membrane or plasma membrane is often referred to as the fluid mosaic model. This is because it is composed of a fluid lipid bilayer with embedded proteins, giving it a mosaic-like appearance. The fluidity allows for the movement and exchange of molecules within the membrane.
What cell structure is important in homeostasis?
It's the plasma membrane. This is because it acts like a gate regulating what can enter and leave the cell. If the plasma membrane did not exist the cell would die because it might take in something that could kill it.
The fluid like material and associated organelles located between the nucleus and the cell membrane of a cell is called the?
Cytoplasm
What acts like the cell membrane?
Vaginal fluid
2 Which organelle acts like the brain of the cell?
the cell membrane
What acts like a cell wall?
The cell membrane acts like a wall and protects everything inside the cell. In both the plant cell and animal cell.
Is cytoplasm a channel inside a cell that acts like a mini railroad?
No. In eukaryotes, the cytoplasm is what takes up the space between the nuclear membrane and the cellular membrane. It it the fluid that the organelles 'float' in. In prokaryotes it is the fluid inside the organism, that everything floats in.

What part of the cells do we say acts like the skin on your body?
The cell membrane acts like the skin on your body because it coats the outside of the cell and protects the organelles.
Gel-like fluid where the organelles are found?
Fluid in the nucleus--nucleoplasm Fluid between the nucleus and the plasma membrane--cytoplasm
