What is the name of the fluid phospholipid bilayer which determines what materials enter and exit the cell?
That is the name. Unless you have another name in mind. Sometimes it is called the fluid mosaic model or the cell membrane.
When the cell membrane engulfs fluid droplets it is called?
Pinocytosis
What structure engulfs fluid in a cell?
The fluid surrounding the cell is called interstitial fluid. The fluid inside the plasma membrane of the cell is called cytoplasm.The fluid surrounding the cell can also be called "Extracellular fluid". Also, the fluid inside the plasma membrane can also be called "cytosol"
Why does the cell membrane acts like a fluid?
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.
Fluid mosaic model of a cell membrane?
Its called "the fluid mosaic model" of the cell membrane. This describes the clumping together of phospholipids to form rafts and their motion (along with single phospholipids) throughout the membrane.
What cell feature has been called 'Not just a bag but a fluid mosaic gatekeeper'?
cell membrane
Why is the cell membrane sometimes referred to as fluid mosaic?
The cell membrane is sometimes referred as "mosaic" because is a work of art made of individual tiles or other pieces assembled to form a picture or design.
All the parts of the cell outside of the nucleus are found in the gooey fluid of the?
The fluid contained with the cell membrane but outside the nucleus is called the cytoplasm.
Components of the cell membrane constantly shift. The model describes this characteristic of the cell membrane.?
Yes, the Fluid Mosaic Model of the cell membrane describes this characteristic.
What is the membrane referred to as the fluid mosaic?
cell membrane
The fluid like material and associated organelles located between the nucleus and the cell membrane of a cell is called the?
Cytoplasm
What are the fluid-like material and associated organelles located between the nucleus and the cell membrane of a cell called?
cytoplasm
