The diffrence is that the cell membrane is just a barrier between the exterior enviroment and the interior of the cell, while the cell surface membrane exerts control over what enters/leaves the cell! :)

What is the difference between a plasma membrane and a Cell?

A plasma membrane is a structure that surrounds the cell and separates it from its environment, controlling the movement of substances in and out of the cell. A cell is the basic structural and functional unit of life, consisting of various organelles surrounded by the plasma membrane. Thus, a cell encompasses the plasma membrane within its boundaries.

cell membrane aka plasma membrane

Do proteins at the inner surface of the plasma membrane attach to the membrane to the cells support the structure?

Yes, proteins at the inner surface of the plasma membrane can attach to the cytoskeleton of the cell, providing support and helping to maintain the structure of the membrane. These membrane-associated proteins interact with the cytoskeleton to anchor the membrane in place and facilitate cell shape and movement.

What is the difference between the plasma membrane and the cell membrane?

I've studied that the cell membrane is the same as the plasma membrane, this is true. All Cells are bounded by the/a bi-lipid layer. It is what the Cell first constructs and then produces - for export - for the building of 'The Exterior Cell Coat' that 'sets them apart'. 10-4?

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.


What is the difference between antibody and immunogloulin?

Antibodies are secreted (plasma cells), while immunoglobulins are membrane-bound (naive B cells).


What is the difference between passive and active transport across the plasma membrane?

Active transport is ATP dependent, whereas passive transport uses only the kinetic energy of the particles for movement across the plasma membrane- mastering A and P homework-
