Describe the structure of the plasma membrane and the various ways in which the plasma membrane permits interaction with the out
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
The structure of the plasma membrane;

The plasma membrane is composed of a bilayer of phospholipids. A molecule of phospholipid consists of two fatty acids and a phosphate group attached to a glycerol component. The fatty acid tails represent a hydrophobic region of the molecule, while the glycerol-phosphate head is hydrophilic. The phospholipids are arranged into a bilayer formation with the hydrophilic heads pointing to the outside and the hydrophobic tails pointing toward the inside. The plasma membrane is a barrier to most molecules. In plants, fungi, and bacteria, the membrane deposits cellulose or other polysaccharides on the outside of the membrane to create a cell wall, which it provides support to the cell.
Embedded in the phospholipid bilayer are various proteins and, in animals cells, cholesterol molecules. This mixture of molecules accounts for the fluid mosaic model of the plasma membrane, that is, a highly flexible lipid boundary impregnated with various other molecules.

The interactions of plasma membrane with the outside environment;

The plasma membrane is a selectively permeable membrane. Small molecules, like O2 and CO2, readily diffuse through the membrane. The movement of larger molecules is regulated by proteins in the plasma membrane. There are several kinds of these proteins. Channel proteins provide passage for certain dissolved substances. Transport proteins actively transport substances against a concentration gradient. The glycocalyx, consisting of the oligosaccharides from glycolipids, recognition proteins, and other glycoproteins, provides adhesion or
participates in cell-to-cell interactions. Receptor proteins recognize hormones and transmit their signals to the interior of the cell.
Various substances can be exported into the external environment by exocytosis. In exocytosis, substances are packaged in vesicles that merge with the plasma membrane. Once they merge with the membrane, their contents are released to the outside. In an opposite kind of procedure, food and other substances can be imported by
endocytosis. In endocytosis, the plasma membrane encircles the substance and encloses it in a vesicle.

Which shows the correct order in which food moves during digestion?
viktelen [127]
Digestion is of two types, mechanical and chemical. Food first enters the mouth where it is mechanically digested by the teeth and chemically digested by the enzymes in the saliva. Next, food travels to the pharynx and then the esophagus via peristaltic motion of the muscles. Then the food enters the stomach, where chemical digestion is completed. The broken down food is sent to the small intestine for absorption and then the large intestine to have water removed and then be expelled from the body.
