== == As you increase the temperature I predict that, due to the molecules vibrating with more kinetic energy, and at higher frequencies and amplitudes, the Van der Waals forces will be overcome between molecules. This could cause the phospholipid bilayer to move apart, and for the cholesterol molecules to bind weaker with the fatty acid chains of the phospholipids. Also, the increased kinetic energy of the protein molecules will cause the hydrogen bonds to break, causing a change in the shape of the 3D tertiary structure of the proteins. This could cause holes in the membrane to appear. In addition to this, the higher temperatures will cause the phospholipid bilayers to become more fluid, and therefore become more permeable.
What else can I help you with?
What happens if there is an excess of cholesterol in the cell membrane?
An excess of cholesterol in the cell membrane can lead to decreased fluidity and flexibility of the membrane, potentially affecting the cell's ability to function properly.
What part of a cell controls what goes in and out of it?
The cell membrane controls what goes in and out of the cell. It acts as a barrier and regulates the passage of molecules such as nutrients and waste products. Additionally, specific proteins in the cell membrane help facilitate the movement of certain substances across it.
What happens if the membrane breaks during the process"?
If the membrane breaks during the process, it can lead to the loss of cell contents and disrupt the cell's ability to function properly.
Another name for plasma membrane?
A cell membrane is also known as a plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane. The cell membrane separates the interior of a cell from its outside environment. The main function of a cell membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings.
What is the thin flexible membrane around all cells?
the cell membrane is as flexible barrier outside of the cell.
What happens to the cell if the cell membrane were damaged?
The cell leaks cytoplasm.
What happens to the pocket in the cell in the membrane when it breaks loose from the membrane?
Usually, the membrane will burst and let its contents out into the cell membrane and get used up.
What happens if there is an excess of cholesterol in the cell membrane?
An excess of cholesterol in the cell membrane can lead to decreased fluidity and flexibility of the membrane, potentially affecting the cell's ability to function properly.
What happens if a cell membrane doesn't function?
it will damage
What happens to the portion of a cell membrane that surrounds a large molecule during endocytosis?
it separates from the membrane.
What happens to the portion of the cell membrane that surround a large molecule during endocytosis?
it separates from the membrane.
What does the cell membrane do on a plant cell?
it lets authorized objects in and out of a plant cell; this also happens in a animal cell.
What happens to cell membrane as cell divides?
No, the nucleus in a cell is what controls cell division.
What life process happens in a cell membrane?
What happens inside a cell membrane is pretty much everything that happens in a normal cell. The cell membrane is really a bilipid layer that forms the cells outer surface, essential for the cell's metabolism. Inside it contains many things- like the nucleus, vacules, etc.the cell membrane is usually the cells environment.
Does the cell membrane contol what happends in the cell?
Constituents of the cell membrane control what goes in and out of the cell as well as how the cell interacts with its environment; so in a way, yes, it partially controls what happens inside a cell.
What part of a cell controls what goes in and out of it?
The cell membrane controls what goes in and out of the cell. It acts as a barrier and regulates the passage of molecules such as nutrients and waste products. Additionally, specific proteins in the cell membrane help facilitate the movement of certain substances across it.
What happens if the particle is too large to get across the membrane?
The cell use something called a protein channel that helps larger particles across the cell membrane.
