How are cell and cell-membrane alike?
They are the major structural components of the cell membrane.
Why is the model of a membrane shown in the transperency referred to as the fluid mosaic model?
The membrane is made out of several molecules - mainly phospholipids. Instead of being a rigid structure, the molecules within the membrane are constantly moving and changing places. This means the membrane appears like a fluid.
What does membrane - bound sacks means?
When substances are too large to pass through the cell membrane directly (they'd leave a gaping hole), they are enclosed in a lipid sac that is similar in composition to the cell membrane. Instead of punching through the membrane, the sac merges with it allowing the large substance to exit the cell without damaging the membrane.
Why is cytoplasmic membrane is important for bacterial energy production?
Because bacteria do not have organelles they would not have a mitochondrian which is eukaryotes use for energy production. These reactions occur in the cytoplasm and on the cytoplasmic membrane instead, making the cytoplasmic membrane integral in bacterial energy production.
Do plant cells have a cell wall instead of the plasma membrane?
Yes because the cell membrane is needed to regulate the flow of material in and out of the cell.Also, when the plant cell requires to undergo plasmolysis, the cell membrane enables the process, because it is not rigid.
What would happen if a cell membrane became non-permeable instead of being selectively permeable?
The cell would ultimately die because nutrients and other vital materials would not be able to enter the cell and waste and harmful materials would not be able to leave the cell.
Why is a chicks egg permeable instead impermeable?
so that the chick can get oxygen while its developing
Is there a cell membrane in viruses?
Viruses dont have a cell membrane. Instead, they have a protein sheath.
What organelle is responsible for a newborn distinctive toes and fingers instead of webbed digits?
The mitochondria - its membrane becomes permeable, allowing cytochrome c and other factors to leak into the cytosol allowing apoptosis to occur (killing the "cells between the toes"basically).cc
When are the schools destroyed?
Schools are destroyed when teachers teach to the standardized test instead of teaching the content of the class.

What is the use of soitsu in yugiho?
soitsu is used to be equipped with doitsu, which gives it 2500 attack points and doitsu would be destroyed instead of soitsu if they were to be destroyed.
What are opinions about whether you think Zeltrax from Power Rangers DinoThunder deserved to be destroyed instead of turning to good and helping the Power Rangers?
Here's an opinion.Zeltrax deserved to be destroyed instead of turning good because he showed no good in him at all. He was obsessed with vengeance and he wasn't wavering on that at all so he deserved to be destroyed.
What are the differences between diffusion and osmosis?
Osmosis is the movement of a solvent (water) into a cell where the concentration of a solute is higher, the lower concentration of solute being outside the root cells. Diffusion involves the spreading of a solute from areas of higher concentrations to areas of lower concentration within a solvent.Osmosis is made possible by a semi-permeable membrane which allows the solvent in, instead of allowing the solute out.
