If you have a well in your home, keep a close eye on the color of the water, which may tell you plenty about what might go on down under. If your well water turns an eerie blue or blue-greenish color, you have a problem related to either copper or zinc from bronze fixtures.
67 MembraneStructure andFunction Chapter Concepts 4.1 Plasma Membrane Structure and Function â¢ The plasma membrane regulates the passage ofmolecules into and out of the cell. 68â¢ The membrane contains lipids and proteins.
The cell membrane (also known as the plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane) is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment. The cell membrane is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules and controls the movement of substances in and out of cells.The basic function of the cell membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings. It consists of the phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins.he arrangement of hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails of the lipid bilayer prevent polar solutes (ex. amino acids, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, proteins, and ions) from diffusing across the membrane, but generally allows for the passive diffusion of hydrophobic molecules.
