Question

The surface of the plasma membrane in plants is covered by ?

Answer 1

Membranes are the most important structural components of the cell; it is the protecting layer of the cell bounding the protoplasm and provides the interface for interaction between the outer and inner components. All cells in all living systems have such membranes around the protoplasm.  Various cell organelles too are bounded by membranes. Chemically, structurally cellular protoplasm is enveloped by a membrane called plasma membrane. It has very important functions such as receiving signals, involved in transport of chemicals inwards and outwards.  In fact the active cytoplasmic fluid is pervaded with membranes.  Some of the organelle membranes are highly specialized to perform specific functions.  Most of the intracellular organelles are bounded by membranes, which actually make such structures compartmentalization of the protoplasm
