Plasma membranes are stored where in eukaryotes?

Biology
1 answer:
marin [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have a plasma membrane, a double layer of lipids that separates the cell interior from the outside environment. This double layer consists largely of specialized lipids called phospholipids.

A phospholipid is made up of a hydrophilic, water-loving, phosphate head, along with two hydrophobic, water-fearing, fatty acid tails. Phospholipids spontaneously arrange themselves in a double-layered structure with their hydrophobic tails pointing inward and their hydrophilic heads facing outward. This energetically favorable two-layer structure, called a phospholipid bilayer, is found in many biological membranes. [Close-up of a phospholipid]

As shown below, proteins are also an important component of the plasma membrane. Some of them pass all the way through the membrane, serving as channels or signal receptors, while others are just attached at the edge. Different types of lipids, such as cholesterol, may also be found in the cell membrane and affect its fluidity.

Scorpions range from a half-inch long to more than 7 inches; many of the commonly encountered scorpions in the United States are 2 inches long or longer, making them easy to spot with the naked eye. Pseudoscorpions, on the other hand, reach between just under one-tenth of an inch to barely over a quarter-inch long, making them inconspicuous in most circumstances. Most are under 1/8 inch.
