What gives cell membranes a flexible structure that forms a strong barrier for the cell

Biology
1 answer:
Aleonysh [2.5K]3 years ago
7 0
Cell membrane fluidity is determined by many things, including the presence of or absence of saturated and or unsaturated fatty acid tails, and because of that the ability of the phospholipids in a cell membrane to tightly pack together or not. I believe though in terms of an additional substance it would have to be cholesterol. These specific lipid molecules are inserted in between the phospholipids preventing phospholipids from tightly packing together thus allowing the cell membrane to have greater fluidity and flexibility.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The animal cells produce the collagen but the plant cell does not produce collagen that responsible for producing the complex structure of protein and carbohydrates that is called extracellular matrix cell. Collagen is an important protein that provides strength to the structural integrity. On the other hand, the plant has not collagen so they have their extracellular supportive structure. The cell wall is so rigid and covered by the cell that protects it that provides shape and support to it. The plant cell also made up of molecules and these are called cellulose. These cellulose structured into the fibers that are called micro-fibrils
