is something that lets some things in and some things out of the cell. It is an outer cover for the cell. If the cell membrane was non existences the cell would spill all over the place. 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 is composed of a thin, double-layered sheet of lipids, around the Cell and is a protective membrane layer around every Cell.…
Cell membrane- It protects the interior of the cell by controlling what goes in out of the cell.…
The nucleus is a large organelle surrounded by a double membrane nuclear envelope; the nuclear envelope contains many pores to allow substances such as tRNA and mRNA to move between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. The nucleus contains most of the cells genetic material in the form of DNA. The DNA and proteins that make up the contents of the nucleus is known as the chromatin. DNA stored in the nucleus codes for different amino acids and proteins to be produced, depending on which genes are being expressed decides what proteins are produced and ultimately the function of the cell. At the centre of the nucleus is a nucleolus which is where ribosomes are manufactured. A diagram of a nucleus can be seen in figure 1. The double membrane keeps the nucleus separate from all the other organelles and serves as a barrier to prevent molecules diffusing freely into and out of the nucleus. The outer membrane has a…
Nuclear Membrane- The nuclear membrane is the double lipid bilayer membrane that surrounds and protects the nucleus. This is like the police officers because it is their job to surround and protect the city from harm.…
The nucleus usually the largest organelle in a mammalian cell, and like almost all other organelles is encased within a phospholipid bilayer. The phospholipid bilayer, as can be seen in Fig. 1 has different channels and routes which different molecules can diffuse or be transported through. Unlike most other organelles, which have…
The cell membrane holds the cell together, but has very tiny holes to allow products to move in and out of the cell.…
The cell membrane is a barrier to the entry and exit of substances. They are semi-permeable barriers, allowing some substances through but not others. It does this by having some small pores or channels.…
Cell Membrane: thin layer that surrounds the cell and holds it together. It only allows some substances into the cell and out of the cell. (Both animal and plant cell)\…
A cell membrane is a thin “skin” that surrounds a cell. It is a semipermeable membrane, which means that some particles pass through the membrane easily while others cannot.…

Plasma Membrane: The thin layer of lipids and proteins that sets a cell off from its surroundings and acts as a selective barrier to the passage of ions and molecules into and out of the cell; consists of a phospholipid bilayer in which are embedded molecules and protein cholesterol. (“skin” of a cell) The membrane surrounds the organelles and serves as a filter, allowing certain chemicals in and out of the cell.…
The cell membrane is a semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell; the cell membrane is made up of phospholipids, proteins and carbohydrates. Its function is to protect the integrity of the interior of the cell allowing certain substances into the cell, while keeping other substances out.…
