A report on the structure of the plasma membrane and its role in maintaining the cell

Biology
1 answer:
ycow [4]2 years ago
7 0

<em>The structure of the plasma membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings. The plasma membrane is composed of a bilayer of phospholipids, with their hydrophobic, fatty acid tails in contact with each other. The landscape of the membrane is studded with proteins, some of which span the membrane. Some of these proteins serve to transport materials into or out of the cell. Carbohydrates are attached to some of the proteins and lipids on the outward-facing surface of the membrane. These form complexes that function to identify the cell to other cells. The fluid nature of the membrane owes itself to the configuration of the fatty acid tails, the presence of cholesterol embedded in the membrane (in animal cells), and the mosaic nature of the proteins and protein-carbohydrate complexes, which are not firmly fixed in place. Plasma membranes enclose the borders of cells, but rather than being a static bag, they are dynamic and constantly in flux</em>.

Answer:

The overall chemical reaction of cellular respiration converts one six-carbon molecule of glucose and six molecules of oxygen into six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water. ... So the carbons in the glucose become oxidized, and the oxygens become reduced.
