Plasma membrane possesses specific protein channels and lipid bilayer. Protein channels are of million different types, each allow a specific molecule to pass through it regarding its size, shape, charges on it, solubility, etc. Fat soluble molecules pass through lipid bilayer.
What else can I help you with?
What are the molecules in the plasma membrane made of?
phospholipids are the molecules that make up the plasma membrane and they are made of polar (hydrophilic) heads and 2 non-polar (hydrophobic) tails
What type of molecules embebbed in the plasma membrane allows molecules to pass through the membrane by active or passive transport?
proteins
The cell membrane also is called the?
The cell membrane is also known as the plasma membrane or the cytoplasmic membrane. It is a biological membrane that separates all cells' interior from the outside, though can be permeated by selection ions and molecules. Its basic function is to protect the cell from its surroundings.
Do some bacteria not have a plasma membrane?
All bacteria have a plasma membrane, which is a semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cell and regulates the passage of molecules in and out of the cell. The plasma membrane is essential for bacterial survival and function.
Are peripheral steroids part of plasma membrane?
No, peripheral steroids are not part of the plasma membrane. Peripheral steroids are molecules found in the cytoplasm and do not directly interact with the plasma membrane. The plasma membrane is primarily composed of phospholipids, proteins, and cholesterol.
Can large polar molecules pass through the plasma membrane?
No, large polar molecules cannot pass through the plasma membrane.
What Molecules in the plasma membrane function as transporters?
Proteins
What are most of the molecules that compose the plasma membrane?
phospholipids
What are the molecules in the plasma membrane made of?
phospholipids are the molecules that make up the plasma membrane and they are made of polar (hydrophilic) heads and 2 non-polar (hydrophobic) tails
What type of molecules embebbed in the plasma membrane allows molecules to pass through the membrane by active or passive transport?
proteins
How do glucose molecules cross a plasma membrane?
Facilitated Diffusion
What is the job of the plasma membrane?
it regulates the entry and exitof the molecules
The cell membrane also is called the?
The cell membrane is also known as the plasma membrane or the cytoplasmic membrane. It is a biological membrane that separates all cells' interior from the outside, though can be permeated by selection ions and molecules. Its basic function is to protect the cell from its surroundings.
A double layer of these molecules makes up the plasma membrane?
A double layer of phospholipids makes up the plasma membrane.
