Study Notes
Cell Membrane Basics
- The primary function of the cell membrane is to regulate what enters and leaves the cell.
Cell Membrane Structure
- The average thickness of cell membranes is 7.5-10 nanometers.
Cell Membrane Function
- The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, allows certain substances to pass through from the outside through a process called selective permeability.
- The cell membrane provides a platform for cell interactions, such as cell signaling and adhesion.
