The cell membrane or a plasma membrane is a semipermeable membrane which means that this is a layer that allows only certain molecules that can pass through it. This allows the cells to keep their materials and the contents parted from the environment and from the other cells. This also makes the phospholipid bilayer an outstanding semipermeable membrane and protects the intracellular organelles from the environment that is outside from the cell.

It only allow certain substances to pass through it therefore the cell membrane is like a filter.

What happens in the G2 phase of the cell cycle?
balu736 [363]
The Best Answer :
 <span>"G2 phase is the third, final, and usually the shortest subphase during interphase within the cell cycle in which the cell undergoes a period of rapid growth to prepare for mitosis. It follows successful completion of DNA synthesis and chromosomal replication during the S phase, and occurs during a period of often four to five hours. This far into interphase the nucleus is well defined, bound by a nuclear envelope and contains at least one nucleolus. Although chromosomes have been replicated they cannot yet be distinguished individually because they are still in the form of loosely packed chromatin fibers. The G2 phase prepares the cell for mitosis (M phase) which is initiated by prophase. 
At the end of this gap phase is a control checkpoint (G2 checkpoint) to determine if the cell can proceed to enter M phase and divide. The G2 checkpoint prevents cells from entering mitosis with DNA damaged since the last division, providing an opportunity for DNA repair and stopping the proliferation of damaged cells. Because the G2 checkpoint helps to maintain genomic stability, it is an important focus in understanding the molecular causes of cancer."</span>
