What do the cell membrane and the nuclear membrane have in common?

Both the cell membrane and the nuclear membrane are lipid bilayers that separate the internal environment from the external environment. They both regulate the transport of molecules in and out of the cell/organelle, and help maintain the overall structure and function of the cell/organelle.


The cell membrane is made of a double layer of?

The cell membrane is semi-permeable controlling the movement of substances in and out of the cell. It contains a phospholipid bilayer consisting of hydrophobic tails and hydrophilic heads. Also contained in the cell membrane are transport proteins.


Is vesicle single or double membrane?

The vesicle is a single membrane, where a vacuole is a double membrane.


What are folds of the cell membrane on the free surface?

The folds on the free surface of a cell membrane are called microvilli. They increase the surface area of the cell membrane, allowing for greater absorption of nutrients and molecules. Microvilli are commonly found in cells that are involved in absorption, such as in the lining of the small intestine.


Why does mitochondria have a double membrane structure?

Mitochondria have a double membrane structure because they are believed to have originated from a process called endosymbiosis, where a smaller prokaryotic cell was engulfed by a larger cell. The double membrane allows for compartmentalization of different functions within the mitochondria, such as the production of energy through cellular respiration.

These form the cell membrane by lining up tail-to-tail in a double row?

The cell membrane is formed from a phospholipid bilayer, with the hydrophobic lipid portions (the tails) on the inner portion and the hydrophilic portion of the phospholipid (the heads) facing the inner and outer surfaces. There are also proteins in the cell membranes.

What form the cell membrane by lining up tails to tails in a double row?

I think you're thinking of lipids, the things with the hydrophobic tail and the hydrophillic head? I think that's it.


How doe the membrane of the cell differ from the cell nuclear membrane?

cell membrane is single whereas the nuclear membrane is double, hence it is also called nuclear envelop.


What is the nucleare membrane?

The double membrane which surrounds the nucleus of a Eukaryotic cell.


What has a thin double layered sheet around the cell?

A cell membrane is a thin, double-layered sheet that surrounds a cell. It acts as a boundary to protect the cell and regulate the passage of substances in and out.


Does a cell membrane have a double plasma membrane?

The plasma membrane is a bi-layer, so yes.
