What is the difference between plasma membrane and cell membrane?

Biology

The plasma membrane is the boundary between the cell and its environment. It regulates what enters and exits the cell. Cells must maintain an appropriate amount of molecules to function inside them. They must also have a way to keep things out or to allow things to enter. This is the job of the plasma membrane. The plasma membrane is like the guard at a gated community. The guard must inspect those who enter and those who leave to make sure that only the people and things needed in the community are there.

The cell membrane is a thin semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell. Its function is to protect the integrity of the interior of the cell by allowing certain substances into the cell, while keeping other substances out. It also serves as a base of attachment for the cytoskeleton in some organisms and the cell wall in others. Thus the cell membrane also serves to help support the cell and help maintain its shape.

Why are the moon’s craters preserved?
Bingel [31]
The main reason is that there is no atmosphere. This means that there is no weather and no weather means that there is no wind or rain. Wind and rain are main components of erosion and because there is no erosion, craters can stay preserved for a very long time.

Hope this helps!!

Joyce is planting tulips in her garden, and she has 5 red bulbs and 5 white bulbs to plant in one row. What is the probability t
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

\frac{1}{126} or 0.0079.

Explanation:

Joyce is planting tulips in her garden.

Number of red (R) bulbs = 5

Number of white (W) bulbs = 5

Total number of ways to plant 10 bulbs in one row is

\text{Total ways}=\frac{10!}{5!5!}

\text{Total ways}=\frac{10\times 9\times 8\times 7\times 6\times 5!}{5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1\times 5!}

Cancel out common factors.

\text{Total ways}=252

It is given that she randomly plants the bulbs so that all 5 red bulbs are next to each other and all 5 white bulbs are next to each other.

Required outcomes are

RRRRRWWWWW and WWWWWRRRRR

\text{Required outcomes}=2

Formula for probability:

Probability=\frac{\text{Required outcomes}}{\text{Total ways}}

Probability=\frac{2}{252}

Probability=\frac{1}{126}

Probability\approx 0.0079

Therefore the required probability is \frac{1}{126} or 0.0079.
