One function of the cell membrane that cannot be accurately modeled with a plastic bag is selective permeability. The cell membrane is selectively permeable, allowing only specific molecules to pass through based on size, charge, and other factors. This selective permeability is crucial for maintaining homeostasis within the cell and regulating the passage of nutrients and waste products. A plastic bag, on the other hand, does not possess the complex proteins and channels necessary for selective permeability and cannot accurately replicate this function of the cell membrane.

Is a membrane an organ or tissue?

Skin is a membrane because it keeps that which is within it contained. There was a cell then more cells which made tissues, so there were tissues and more tissues and this made an organ, when more then one organ works together to perform a function it is then a body system.

How do you repair the shift key and cap lock function on windows 8 laptop?

Unless you take it to a computer shop most cannot be repaired. Especially if its the contact part. If it's just the plastic piece then you may be able to replace it from an old parts keyboard.

What is an impermeable solute?

An impermeable solute is a substance that cannot pass through a semipermeable membrane, such as a cell membrane. This means that the solute is unable to diffuse or move across the membrane and remains on one side of the membrane.
