Question

How is the cell membrane adapted to its function?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The ability of some organisms to regulate the fluidity of their cell membranes by altering lipid composition is called homeoviscous adaptation.

if it helps pls thank me and mark me as brainliest

Answer 2

Cell membrane is made up of Lipid Bilayer which are fluid in nature, means they move endlessly, thanks to this fluid nature they are selectively permeable to compounds.

• Also more flexibility of membrane is dangerous because it will damage the plasma membrane, hence to manage the fluid feature of cell membrane 'Sterols' (Cholesterol ) are linked with them.
• The cell wall (also known as the plasma membrane (PM) or cytoplasmic film, and historically cited as the plasmalemma) is a biological membrane that splits and protects the inner of all cells from the outside atmosphere (the extracellular space).
• The cell wall contains of a lipid bilayer, made from two coatings of phospholipids with cholesterols (a lipid component) scattered between them, maintaining appropriate membrane flexibility at various temperatures.
• The membrane also comprises membrane proteins, including essential proteins that span the membrane and function membrane transporters, and outlying proteins that loosely attach to the outer side of the cell wall , acting as enzymes to ease interaction with the cell's environment.
• Glycolipids surrounded within the outer lipid layer aid a similar purpose.

The cell wall controls the movement of materials in and out of cells and organelles, being selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules.
