Cell membranes come into contact with water throughout the human body. The cell membrane comes into the most contact with water in the bladder, which holds urine that is mainly composed of water.

What part of the cell membrane is polar and allows the cell to exits in water?

The cell membrane is made out of two layers , a nonpolar and polar part. The polar part is the hydrophilic part , meaning water loving , and the nonpolar is hydrophobic part - water hating. The polar/hydrophilic part is inside of the membrane and the outer portion is the hydrophobic/nonpolar . You don't want the cell to exist in water or be soluble in water because then we would dissolve , all our cells , tissues etc. That's why the cell membranes outer portion is nonpolar and is not miscible with water . The cell membrane allows water molecules to come in and out of the cell by osmosis , and that is when water molecules can free out and in of the cell through the cell membrane .


Does a portion of the viral envelope come from the cell membrane of the host cell?

Yes, a portion of the viral envelope can come from the host cell membrane. When a virus buds out of a host cell, it can acquire some of the host cell's membrane components, incorporating them into its envelope.


Molecules A and B come in contact with the cell membrane of the same cell Molecule A passes through the cell membrane readilybut molecule B does not Which statement could describe molecules A an?

Molecule A is likely smaller and more hydrophobic, allowing it to pass through the cell membrane easily via simple diffusion. Molecule B may be larger, polar, or charged, requiring a transporter or channel for passage across the cell membrane.


What would happen if the plasma membrane ruptures or break down?

Plasma Membrane is the outer covering of the cell that seperates its content from the surrounding medium. It is a selectively permeable membrane . If it rupture or breaks down the cytoplasm will come in direct contact with the surrounding medium and the act of selection will stop.


What are the outer layer of a human red blood cell?

The outer layer of an animal cell is called the cell membrane. It controls what can go into and come out of the cell.

What structure in a plant cell may force the cell membrane into contact with the cell wall?

The structure in a plant cell that may force the cell membrane into contact with the cell wall is the plasma membrane. This will also come into contact with the vesicle membrane.


Where does a cell come into contact with water?

vacuole

Why the human membrane made out of lipids?

The human cell membranes are made out of lipids because lipids propel water, and if it weren't made out of liquids, every time we come in contact with water we would either shrink or grow in big amounts.


What happens when you put a egg in salt water?

The egg should have its water or substance in the egg come out through the cell membrane. :)

What are some functions of the cell membrane that's in all cells?

the cell membrane allows materials, such as bacteria, to come in or out.It is the outside boundary of the cell that separates the cell from its envornment.


What is the function of a cell mebrane?

what the cell membrane does is give the cell it's shape and prevents thing from come in into it and out


Cell membrane analogy?

The cell membrane can be compared to a fence around a house. Just as a fence regulates what enters and exits the property, the cell membrane controls what substances come in and out of the cell. Additionally, like a fence, the cell membrane provides protection and support for the cell.
