In an animal cell, the plasma membrane keeps out unwanted objects. In a plant cell, the cell wall does this. Unwanted items would be any foreign unknown object, harmful bacteria, or wastes excreted by other cells. Cells only let in certain things, and they do this through selective permeability. They let in water and sugars and nutrients and other things that the cell requires. They can tell what to let in because proteins attached to the plasma membrane act as signalling devices, telling the plasma membrane whether or not to let something in. Some bacteria trick the plasma membrane into letting them in.
The importance of the cell membrane is to keep the bad things out and keep the good things in.Bad things would be harmful to the cell.Good things would help the cell.
Yes, the cell membrane is selectively permeable, meaning it allows certain substances to pass through while blocking others. This is essential for controlling the movement of molecules in and out of the cell to maintain internal balance.
The cell membrane, which surrounds the cell and is responsible for which molecules are allowed to diffuse into or out of the cell and which molecules are impermeable to the membrane
Some negative aspects of cell membranes include their vulnerability to damage, which can lead to cell dysfunction. Additionally, cell membranes can become rigid or permeable, affecting the cell's ability to regulate what enters and exits. These issues can disrupt important cellular processes and communication, ultimately impacting overall cellular function.
It could be the cell wall? I"m not sure.
They are not bad for your health, don't believe that b.s. (bad sources)
It regulates what comes in and out of the cell. It works in order to keep bad things out of the cell.
no
Cell membranes only allow certain things to enter the cell. So basically they filter good stuff to come in the cell and don't allow bad stuff to enter. Permeable = allowed to enter Semi-permeable = somethings can enter; some can't Impermeable = nothing can enter
Macrophages phagocytize (eat) bad things (pathogens)
it can shut down
Because if the kids do what the adults do then that can lead to bad things.
It's important for a cell to be selective, because it lets the good things in and not the bad things in, like the viruses.
The cell membrane performs the function of a filter, letting good things in and bad things out. It also protects the cell from invading sources. It lets out water and lets in oxygen.
One bad thing the nucleus does is occasionally allows bad things to enter the cell. Sometimes, depending on the condition, the nucleus does not work properly, allowing harmful agents into our bodies.
It depends. Cell membranes are selectively permeable. Meaning it will only let certain things in and out of the cell.
