Structure and Composition of Cell Membrane

Despite differences in structure and function, all living cells in multicellular organisms are surrounded by a cell membrane. Just like the outer layer of the skin separates the body from its environment similarly, the cell membrane, also known as 'plasm…

Cell Membrane

The cell membrane is known by different names like plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane, or biological membrane. The term "cell membrane" was first introduced by C. Nageli and C. Cramer in the year 1855. Later on, in 1931, the term "plasmalemma" for c…

Prokaryotes vs Eukaryotes

The cell is defined as the basic structural and functional unit of life. The cell membrane bounds it. It is capable of independent existence.

1:42 PM ១ 99% Apart from food, plants need other nutrients like water and minerals. Nitrogen, a mineral, is an important part of all living cells. All organisms need nitrogen in order to grow and repair. Although nitrogen exists in its elemental form in the atmosphere, it cannot be directly used by plants. 7 Where else can plants obtain their nitrogen from? Plants make their own nitrogen. B Plants get it from animals. Plants get it from the soil. D Plants have special structures to break down atmospheric nitrogen. v3.7.63.140.4 | 6763e9417a3dbb80fa0f87b2 | Dec 19, 2024 | 3:07 PM | 84126 | en_8
