There are many differences that can be found between blood and lymph fluid. The cells that are present in blood include erythrocytes, leucocytes, and plates. In lymph fluid the only cells present are lymphocytes. Blood contains hormones and plasma proteins making blood rich in proteins. Lymph fluid has very few proteins present. Blood contains more glucose, amino acids, and oxygen than lymph fluid. However, lymph fluid has more carbon dioxide than blood.

What is the Difference between plasmamembrane and cell membrane?

The terms "plasma membrane" and "cell membrane" are often used interchangeably to refer to the same structure. Both terms refer to the semipermeable lipid bilayer that surrounds the cell and controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.


Why is the cell membrane said to be a fluid mosaic?

Generally water and gases are described as fluid. In this context cell membrane is said to have a fluid mosaic model just because of it super flexible nature. Lipid bipolar molecules in the cell membrane can exhibit a flip flop movement. It can easily reseal after any breakage. So as fluid have an ease in changing their orientation likewise cell membrane posess a similar property. shankha LOL


How does the plasma membrane of the cell compare with the membrane in the U-shape?

The plasma membrane of a cell is a phospholipid bilayer that surrounds the cell and controls the passage of substances in and out of the cell. Whereas the membrane in a U-shaped tube serves a similar function as a barrier to control the movement of substances between two compartments in an experimental setup. Both membranes are selective in allowing specific molecules to pass through based on their size, charge, and solubility.


Are the cell walls affected by temperature in the same way that the plasma membrane is?

Cell walls are not as affected by temperature as the plasma membrane because they are rigid and provide structural support to the cell. Changes in temperature affect the fluidity and permeability of the plasma membrane, which can impact the cell's ability to maintain internal homeostasis.

Where is the plasma membrane?

Plasma membrane is the same as "cell membrane" it's one of the four characteristics of all cells. So plasma membrane is found "coating" the outside of all cells.

yes because tonoplast like cell membrane mantain ions concentration


Is plasma in a blister the same plasma that is in a tv?

No, the plasma in blister is the term in biology and is the fluid medium of the blood. The plasma in a television is the term in physics and is ionized gas in plasma state.


How would plasma membrane compare to a human organ?

Well your skin is an organ, yep it is. Your skin acts as a protector or a barrier from outside harm. A Plasma membrane also performs the same function.
