How does the plasma membrane contribute to the structure and function of the cell?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Gennadij [26K]3 years ago

Answer: It forms a rigid structure that only allows materials to exit the cell.

Explanation:

The primary function of the plasma membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings. Composed of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins, the plasma membrane is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules and regulates the movement of substances in and out of cells.

An image of plasma membrane shows the phospholipid bilayer, embedded proteins, and cholesterol molecules.  The plasma membrane is the border between the interior and exterior of a cell. As such, it controls passage of various molecules—including sugars, amino acids, ions, and water—into and out of the cell.

I hope this helped you have a good day.

I want to know which ones are molecular equation, complete ionic equation and net ionic equation
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The molecular equations are:

1. CuSO₄ (aq) + 2 KOH (aq) ----> Cu(OH)₂ (s) + K₂SO₄ (aq)

2. Ba(NO₃)₂ (aq) + K₂SO₄ (aq) + BaSO₄ (s) + 2 KNO₃ (aq)

The complete ionic equations are:

1. Ag + (aq) + NO₃- (aq) + I- (aq) + Na (aq) ---> AgI (s) + No₃- (aq) + Na+ (aq)

2. Cu²+ + SO₄²- (aq) + 2 K+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq) ---> Cu(OH)₂ (s) + 2K+ (aq) + SO₄²- (aq)

The net ionic equations are:

1. Ca²+ (aq) + SO₄²- (aq) ---> CaSO₄ (s)

2. Ba²+ (aq) +SO₄²- (aq) ---> BaSO₄ (s)

Explanation:

A molecular equation is a balanced chemical equation which shows the reacting species as molecules rather than as componenet ions in their compounds with subscripts written beside the molecules to indicate the state in which they occur in the chemical reaction.

An ionic equation expresses the reacting species as components ions in a chemical reation. All the ions and molecules reacting are shown.

In a net ionic equation, the ions which remain in the ionic state also known as spectator ions are not written as part of the equation.

From the given attachment;

The molecular equations are:

1. CuSO₄ (aq) + 2 KOH (aq) ----> Cu(OH)₂ (s) + K₂SO₄ (aq)

2. Ba(NO₃)₂ (aq) + K₂SO₄ (aq) + BaSO₄ (s) + 2 KNO₃ (aq)

The complete ionic equations are:

1. Ag + (aq) + NO₃- (aq) + I- (aq) + Na (aq) ---> AgI (s) + No₃- (aq) + Na+ (aq)

2. Cu²+ + SO₄²- (aq) + 2 K+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq) ---> Cu(OH)₂ (s) + 2K+ (aq) + SO₄²- (aq)

The net ionic equations are:

1. Ca²+ (aq) + SO₄²- (aq) ---> CaSO₄ (s)

2. Ba²+ (aq) +SO₄²- (aq) ---> BaSO₄ (s)
