Cell membrane is layer which is present in all living cells. It is present under the cell wall but in some cases such as plant cells.

Explanation: It is composed of lipid bilayer and proteins embedded in it. Phospholipids, glycolipids and sterols is the composition. Its function is to protect the cell from extracellular environment. It is semipermeable membrane that js allow only selected molecules to pass.

Answer from: Gheaton6274

A cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer that defines the external boundaries of cells and regulate the molecular traffic across the boundary.

Explanation: Cell membranes are flexible, self-sealing and selectively permeable bilayer of phospholipids with proteins embedded in the bilayer through hydrophobic interactions. Cell membranes are formed by the interactions of the hydrophobic tails of the phospholipids, the hydrophobic tails of the phospholipids face each other while their polar head groups face outward, thus forming a bilayer with a fluid hydrophobic core. The selective permeability of membranes makes them to retain certain compounds and ions within cells while excluding others. Cell membranes include an array of proteins specialized for promoting or catalyzing various cellular processes such as synthesis of lipids and certain proteins and the energy transductions in mitochondria and chloroplasts.

Which of the following scenarios is an example of the bottleneck effect? answers a in south africa, much of the afrikaner population is descended from a small number of dutch colonists. in this population, this is an unusually high frequency of pseudoxanthoma elasticum (pxe), an elastic tissue disorder. b four white-tailed deer are introduced to a park in finland. thirty years after their introduction scientists compare the genes in the population and find that there is no variation. c during the industrial revolution, london's air became filled with soot. as a result, birds started eating more of the lighter moths because they were easier to spot than their darker counterparts. over time, the moth population changed so that there were more darker moths than lighter ones. d 10% of the population of american alligators in an area have the recessive trait albinism. a massive flood results in the death of 80% of the population. of the remaining population, 60% have the recessive trait of albinism.
