What is the job of the plasma membrane?

it regulates the entry and exitof the molecules


Which structure regulates passage of molecules into and out of cells?

The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, regulates the passage of molecules into and out of cells. It acts as a selectively permeable barrier, allowing some substances to pass through while blocking others to maintain the cell's internal environment.


Can large polar molecules pass through the plasma membrane?

No, large polar molecules cannot pass through the plasma membrane.


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.


What part of the cell regulates the entrance and exit of molecules for the cell?

The cell membrane is a busy cell. This cell regulates what can and cannot leave.


Does the plasma membrane of a living cell form an impenetrable barrier between the internal millieu and the environment?

No, the plasma membrane is a selectively permeable barrier that regulates the flow of most molecules across the membrane. The plasma membrane allows waste products to exit the cell and nutrients to enter the cell.


Which type of membrane surrounds a cell?

this is the cell membrane made primarily of lipid molecules with proteins incorporated into it that aid in transport of molecules across the membrane


Does algae have a plasma membrane?

Yes, algae have plasma membranes. The plasma membrane is a key feature of all living cells, including algae, as it acts as a protective barrier, regulates the movement of molecules in and out of the cell, and helps maintain cellular integrity.


What regulates what leaves a cell?

plasma membrane aka cell membrane


Which organelle has a semi permeable membrane and separates the cell from it's environment?

The cell membrane (or plasma membrane) shows semi-permeability. In short some substances, such as gases and small electrically-neutral molecules CAN pass, while others like glucose and other large polar molecules CANNOT pass. Although glucose and other large polar molecules cannot pass through the semi-permeable cell membrane, they may enter through the interior of transport proteins.


What regulates which substances enter and leave a cell?

The plasma membrane. Carrier proteins and ion channels are parts of the plasma membrane, and aid in diffusion across concentration gradients, as most things don't freely move from one end of the cell membrane to the other. The Sodium-Potassium pump is a major ion channel in the plasma membrane, and regulates the intake of potassium and export of sodium (3 molecules sodium out, 2 molecules potassium in.)


Is the plasma membrane permiable?

Yes, the plasma membrane is selectively permeable, meaning it regulates what can pass through it. Small, non-polar molecules like oxygen and carbon dioxide can diffuse across the membrane, while larger or charged molecules require specific transport mechanisms to enter or leave the cell.
