A membrane at the boundry of every cell that acts as a selective barrier?

The membrane at the boundary of every cell that acts as a selective barrier is called the cell membrane. The cell membrane is made of compounds called proteins and lipids.


Is cytoplasm partally permeable?

The cytoplasm is the fluid contained within a cell. The cell membrane is the barrier that encloses the cytoplasm. The cell membrane is partially permiable, not the cytoplasm.


Why is the structure of a phospholipid so important to the cell?

They are selectively permeable, provides structure to cells.


What is a protective layer that covers a cell's surface and acts as a barrier?

For most cells, it is the cell membrane. Cells have a plasma membrane that is very selectively permeable i.e, will allow entry of substances that are necessary for the cell functioning. In case of an egg cell, it is surrounded by follicular cells. It provides protection from various acidic conditions. For a plant cell, the cell wall serves as a barrier.


What acts as a barrier between the inside of the cell and the cell's environment?

Cell membrane


What function do cell wall?

A cell wall is found in plant cells only, NOT animal cells. It provides support to the cell, and holds the cell together. It is not permeable like a cell membrane. The cell wall can be compared to a brick wall.


How does insulin enter animal cells?

Cholesterol enters animal cells when the animal consumes and processes something that contains cholesterol. The cholesterol then enters through the cells permeable surface.


Which organelle provides a barrier and maintains the rigidity of the plant cells?

Cell Wall


What can you conclude about plant and animals cell organelles?

They are both cells that have incredible organelles that benefit them, like how the cell wall provides a barrier for the plants, and vacuoles serve to store water and food in both plant and animal cells.


Do all cells have a membrane?

Cells have impermeable, permeable and selectively permeable membranes.


What is the protective barrier surrounding the cell which protects its content from the cell?

The answer is the cell membrane, all cells have one.Some cells also have a second layer called the cell wall that provides support.(This is not found in animal cells and some others)


If you extracted DNA from animal cells instead of plant cells what cell barrier would have been different?

Plant cells have a cell wall around their cell membrane, while animal cells do not.
