What two organelles function in the regulation of water within a cell?

The two organelles that function in the regulation of water within a cell are the cell membrane and the vacuole. The cell membrane controls the movement of water into and out of the cell, while the vacuole helps maintain water balance by storing and releasing water as needed.


Which cellular structure in an animal cell helps maintain homeostasis by controlling the transportation of substances into and out of the cell?

A cell seeks to maintain homeostasis within the cell therefore osmosis will occur. The cell will change the concentration of water within the cell to match the concentration of water outside the cell.


What are the cell membrane and water both involved in?

The cell membrane and water are both involved in "Osmosis" the making of Chloroplasts.


How can water go through the cell membrane when it is polar?

Because it is a small molecule, water can diffuse through the cell membrane.


What Component of cell membrane that makes it impermeable to water?

The cell membrane is not impermeable to water but semi permeable which means it allowa only water to enter into the cell when the concentration of water molecules is higher in the fluid surrounding the cell than the fluid inside the cell.


In which organelle does osmosis occur?

Osmosis occurs in the cell membrane of a cell. It is the movement of water across the cell membrane, which controls the balance of water inside and outside of the cell.


Does a cell membrane have proteins in it?

a cell membrane is a lipid bi-layer made of phospholipids and water


What does the cell membrane do inside of the animal cell?

The cell membrane is the layer that surrounds the cell and allows nutrients and water to pass through.


How does the structure of the cell's membrane help the cells regulate water?

The semi-permeability of the cell membrane regulate water movement by osmosis.


What attracts water in the cell membrane and how does it contribute to the overall structure and function of the cell?

Water is attracted to the cell membrane due to the presence of hydrophilic (water-attracting) molecules in the membrane. This attraction helps maintain the structure of the cell membrane and allows for the passage of water and other molecules in and out of the cell, which is essential for various cellular functions such as nutrient uptake and waste removal.


What process do water molecules cross the cell membrane?

Water molecules cross the cell membrane through a process called osmosis, which is driven by the concentration gradient of water inside and outside the cell. Aquaporin proteins on the cell membrane facilitate the movement of water molecules into and out of the cell.


What feature of the cell prevents water from entering the cell?

Phospholipids in the cell membrane prevent water from entering a cell.
