The cytoplasm is the body of a cell. It is surrounded by the Cell membrane.

Permeable means its ability to allow particles or nutrients to pass through. It is called semi-permeable [membrane] because it only allows some particles or nutrients to pass through, not all.

What structure do all cells need?

they all need a nucleus (the brain of the cell), a cell membrane and cytoplasm.


What is the region with in the plasma membrane and the nucleus?

The region within the plasma membrane is the cytoplasm, which contains various cellular organelles and structures. The region within the nucleus is the nucleoplasm, where the DNA and nucleolus are located.


Is cytoplasm in plasma membrane?

Well some thing has to keep the cyto [cell] plasm [fluid] within the cyto [cell]. A membrane [containment] could would act as a wall covering the surface and retaining the overall viscosity on the inside surrounding the cells nucleus. Keep in mind that the membrane is still a two way perimeter letting certain things into the [cyto] and passing certain substances out, based upon the need for keeping a balance and maintaining appropriate homeostasis. the membrane responds to both active an d passive transport.

What are three ways molecules move through a semipermeable membrane?

Three ways molecules move through a semipermeable membrane are simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport. In simple diffusion, molecules move from an area of high concentration to low concentration without the need for energy. Facilitated diffusion involves the movement of molecules across the membrane with the help of protein channels or carriers. Active transport requires energy and moves molecules against their concentration gradient.


If a chemist wants to study dissfusion should a semipermeable membrane be used?

Diffusion is essentially the movement of solute molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. A semi permeable membrane need not be used to study this phenomenon

cell membrane!!! not ribosomes! -wrong plant cells have cell walls and animal cells have cell membrane, it might seem right but it is wrong. Nearly all cells have a mitochondrion.^ While the answer above is correct, the real answer is Cell Membrane. So all cells have cytoplasm, AND cell membranes.

Do all protists have cytoplasm?

Yes, all protists have cytoplasm. Cytoplasm is a gel-like substance found inside the cell membrane where organelles are suspended. It plays a critical role in various cellular functions such as metabolism and transport within the cell.


What is the need for a semi permeable membrane?

A semi-permeable membrane allows only certain molecules or ions to pass through based on size or charge. This property is important for processes like osmosis, filtration, and dialysis, where selective transport of substances is required. It helps maintain balance and regulate concentrations of solutes in a system.


What is cell membrane define?

The cell membrane is a thin, semi-permeable barrier that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell. It controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell, allowing nutrients to enter and waste products to exit. The cell membrane also helps maintain the cell's shape and structure.
