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 part of the cell is a slender extension of plasma membrane that increase its surface area?
microvilli
How is the plasma membrane of the liver cell?
plasma membrane
What type of membrane is membrane plasma?
The plasma membrane is referred to as a biological membrane or bio-membrane.Briefly, the plasma membrane may also be generally referred to as cell membrane.
What is the bacterial structure that acts as a selective barrier allowing nutrients to enter the cell and wastes to leave the cell.?
plasma membrane
When vesicles from the Golgi apparatus deliver their contents to the exterior of the cell they add their membranes to the plasma membrane. The plasma membrane does not increase in size because?
The membrane is continually being lost from the plasma membrane by endocytosis

What is the size of a plasma membrane?
.16 lg
What are slender extensions of the plasma membrane that increase its surface area?
Microvilli
Size of the plasma membrane in an animal cell?
The average is 7 nanometres in width (from outside to inside the cell).
Projections of the plasma membrane of the cell that increase the cell's surface area?
microvilli
How does nutrients enter a cell?
The plasma membrane.
What does NOT influence the rate of diffusion of a chemical across a plasma membrane?
Besides the concentration of the chemical, the pore size of the plasma membrane, and the osmotic pressure of the cytoplasm - nothing else influences the rate of diffusion of a chemical across a plasma membrane.

Two changes in plasma membranes that could result in an increase in the rate of glucose?
To increase the absorption of glucose by a cell through plasma membrane two things can be done.One is treating cell membrane with chemicals that will distort the structure of cell membrane and then incubating the sample overnight at 37 degree Celsius.Another approach is giving electric shock to cell membrane.
