What 2 main group of organic materials make up the plasma membrane of a cell?

The main organic materials that make up the plasma membrane of a cell are lipids and proteins. Lipids, such as phospholipids and cholesterol, form the basic structure of the membrane, providing a barrier to the cell's interior. Proteins are embedded within the lipid bilayer and facilitate various functions, including transport of molecules and cell signaling.


What kind of molecules make up cell membrane?

brain cells


Does biological molecules proteins and lipids have cell membranes?

Proteins and lipids don't have cell membranes but are the molecules that make up the bulk of what a cell membrane is.


What part of cell controls movement of molecules in and out of cell?

The cell membrane controls what enters and leaves the cell. There are protein channels within the lipid bilayer (membrane) of the cell. There are carbohydrate chains that hang off of the protein channels that identify each particle around the cell to make sure its what the cell needs, if not it wont let it in.

How do you transport proteins in a cell make it easier for certain molecules to diffuse across a membrane?

Proteins in the cell membrane can act as transporters or channels, aiding in the facilitated diffusion of specific molecules across the membrane. These proteins provide a passageway for the molecules to move across the membrane by utilizing their specific structure and function. This process helps regulate the movement of molecules in and out of the cell.


What parts make up the cell membrane?

Most of the cell membrane are made up of proteins and phospholipids. The phospholipids make up the basic cell body, with tiny holes scattered around. It is not a solid piece. The proteins gather around the tiny holes and help move molecules in and out of the cell.


What molecules make up the bi layer of a cell membrane?

Phospholipids lay to the foundation. They are type of lipids.


What type of molecules cannot pass through the lipid bilayer of a cell membrane through diffusion?

Ions cannot pass through such as Na+ and K+ - these require membrane proteins. Some larged polar molecules cannot cross either - such as glucose and sucrose - these also require membrane proteins.


What membrane bound organelle uses oygen and organic molecules to make ATP?

The cellular reaction of oxygen (O2) and glucose (C6H12O6) is know as aerobic respiration. This reaction takes place in a cell's mitochondria.


How are active transport and facilitated diffusion similar?

Both serve to transport molecules across cell membranes and both make use of proteins embedded in cell membrane in order to move these molecules.


What 2 molecules make up the cell membrane?

Phospholipids and proteins are the two main types of molecules that make up the cell membrane. Phospholipids form a lipid bilayer that serves as the basic structure of the membrane, while proteins are embedded within this lipid bilayer and help to carry out various functions such as transport, signaling, and support.
