Biology
1 answer:
KIM [24]3 years ago
4 0
First off, we need to understand that osmosis is typically used with the example of water---
To understand that, osmosis is taking water from a high concentration to a low concentration to make the membrane equal to one another .
Imagine you have a pea, and the pea is about to explode of water. And you have another pea that's shriveled up. You would take some of the exploding water's pea into the shriveled one, therefore making it equal. (Thats my example I like to use!)
I hope this helped!

Which of the following is TRUE of a cell membranes?
adoni [48]

Answer:

B, C, Dand E are all correct

Explanation:

Why B is correct- The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, is a double layer of lipids and proteins that surrounds a cell and separates the cytoplasm (the contents of the cell) from its surrounding environment. It is selectively permeable, which means that it only lets certain molecules enter and exit.

Plants, animals, and bacteria have a cell membrane. Why d is correcect

Why C is correct- The cell membrane is not a solid structure. It is made of millions of smaller molecules that create a flexible and porous container. Proteins and phospholipids make up most of the membrane structure.

Why E is correct- The plasma membrane is primarily composed of phospholipids arranged in a bilayer, with the hydrophobic tails on the interior of the membrane, and the hydrophilic heads pointing outwards

Why A Is Not correct- It is very fragile and its role is to hold the cell together and to help control what substances can get in and out. It is partially permeable, allowing only some substances to pass through it. The membrane has a complex structure consisting of a phospholipid bi-layer and different types of proteins.
