What else can I help you with?
What moves through a semipermeable membrane into an area of what concentration?
Water moves through a semipermeable membrane from an area of high to low concentration. This is called osmosis.
What are folded layers of the inner membrane in mitochondria called?
I think you are referring to the cristae. These are the folded parts of the inner membrane. The purpose is to increase surface area of the inner membrane against the matrix. The membrane is the site of the energy transfer in the mitochondria, so having more surface area is a plus.
Why is there a double membrane around both a chloroplast and mitochondria?
To have somewhere to make the proton gradient in. The H+ have stored electric potential energy inside the proton gradient, and that energy is used to synthesize ATP from ADP and Pi when they pass through ATPase to the other side of the proton gradient where they acquire a low energy state.
Which are the two parts of mitchondria?
Mitochondria have two main parts: the outer membrane and the inner membrane. The outer membrane is smooth and serves as a boundary, while the inner membrane is highly folded into structures called cristae, which increase the surface area for biochemical reactions. Between these membranes is the intermembrane space, and inside the inner membrane is the mitochondrial matrix, where various metabolic processes occur.
What is the process of water diffusing across a what membrane?
Water diffuses across a cell membrane through a process called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of high water concentration to an area of lower water concentration, driven by the concentration gradient of solutes across the membrane. This process helps maintain the cell's internal environment and balance the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell.
In a cell what is the periplasm?
This refers to the area around the plasma membrane. In a bacterium, the area between the plasma membrane and the the bacterial cell wall.
What is the area outside the nuclear membrane but inside the cell membrane?
Cytoplasm
The membrane that forms a compartment inside the stroma is?
The membrane that forms a compartment inside the stroma is the thylakoid membrane. This membrane contains chlorophyll and is the site of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis in chloroplasts. The thylakoid membrane is organized into stacks called grana, which helps increase surface area for photosynthetic reactions.
What is the inside of the circle called?
The inside of a circle is called its area.
What is the inside of a circle called?
The inside of a circle is called its area.
What is the area inside a cell between the necleus and the cell membrane where organelles can be found?
the cytoplasm
What are the individual sacs formed by the inner membrane called?
The individual sacs formed by the inner membrane of a mitochondrion are called cristae. These structures help increase the surface area inside the mitochondria for energy production processes like cellular respiration.

What allows water to cross the permeable membrane of an animal cell?
Water crosses the permeable membrane of an animal cell through a process called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, across a selectively permeable membrane. This process helps maintain the balance of water inside and outside the cell.
The passage of water through the cell membrane is called?
The passage of water through the cell membrane is called osmosis. Osmosis involves the movement of water molecules from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration across a selectively permeable membrane, such as the cell membrane.
