The hydrophilic interior of the membrane is composed primarily of the fatty acid tails of the phospholipids. Carbohydrates on the membrane surface are important in determing the overall bilayer structure. Phospholipids are the primary component that determines which solute can cross the plasma membrane. The two sides of the plasma membrane have different lipid and protein composition. The plasma membrane is covalently linked network of phospholipids and proteins that controls the movement of solutes into and out of a cell.arrow_forward

How does this substance enter the cell? Select the best answer Question options: Ethanol is soluble in the membrane, so it can diffuse into the cell. Ethanol is soluble in the membrane, so it moves through a channel protein. Ethanol is insoluble in the membrane, so it is brought in by endocytosis. Ethanol is insoluble in the membrane, so it is actively pumped into the cell. Ethanol is insoluble in the membrane, so it moves through a channel protein.arrow_forwardExplain (using the correct terminology and drawing an image) what happens to the cells in the following environments: A human blood cell (0.9% salt) is placed in a saltwater tank (27.5% salt). - A bacterial cell with 35% organic material in their cytoplasm is living in a tank filled with 35% sulfur. - A freshwater plant cell (75% water) is living in a pond that floods over.arrow_forward
