Eukaryotic plasma membrane/ Cell membrane/ Biomembrane:
1. It is thin, quasi-fluid structure present both extracellularly and intracellularly.
2. Extracellularly, it is present around protoplast and intracellularly, it is present around most of...
Fluid mosaic model:
1. Fluid mosaic model was proposed by Singer and Nicholson (1972).
2. This model states that plasma membrane is made up of phospholipid bilayer and proteins.
3. Proteins are embedded...
1. The significant function of plasma membrane is transport of molecules across it. Plasma membrane is selectively permeable.
2. Passive transport:
a. Many molecules move across the membrane without spending energy.
b. Some...
Frequency of UV rays is greater than infrared rays, hence UV rays are much more energetic than infrared rays. Plants cannot tolerate the exposure of high energy rays. As a...
