Cell Membrane Function In Animal Cell And Plant Cell
Information obtained from Science Fusion - The Diversity of Living Things - Chapter 1 Lesson 1.
Cell membrane function in animal cell and plant cell. It is a semi-permeable membrane composed of lipids and proteins. The cell membrane is a multifaceted membrane that envelopes a cells cytoplasm. Unlike the eukaryotic cells of plants and animal cells do not have a cell wall.
Proteins and lipids are the major components of the cell membrane. Plant cells have a cell wall made of cellulose and membrane. The cell membrane is also known as the plasma membrane.
This organelle is also referred to as plasma membrane. Cells are the smallest unit of life which means they are the smallest structures that can perform life functions. Also it controls the entry and exit of nutrients and other microscopic entities into the cell.
The plasma membrane serves as the outer boundary to the animal cell. A cell is always surrounded by a thin membrane called plasma membrane. The cell wall is a rigid membrane matrix found on the surface of all plant cells whose primary role is to protect the cell and its content.
The second function of the plant cell membrane is to control entry into and exit from the cell. A plant cell has a cell wall as well as a plasma membrane. 4 5 and 6.
The membrane has the following functions-. It regulates the movement of substance into and from the cell. It has selective permeability.
