There are many different processes that are controlled by the plasma membrane aka as the cell membrane.

  • Selective Permeable -- this means that only certain things will be allowed to enter or to leave the cell membrane.
  • Active transport -- this process is where ATP is required. An example of this type of transport is when there is particles that are too large to passively go through the membrane will need to be carried by glucose, and through protein carriers.
  • Passive transport -- this is where no actual ATP is required, it flows quite freely through the membrane. One example of this type is diffusion.

Where is the electron transport chain in cellular respiration located?

The electron transport chain in cellular respiration is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane of eukaryotic cells and the plasma membrane of prokaryotic cells.


Is plasma membrane different from nuclear membrane?

Yes, the plasma membrane surrounds the cell and controls what enters and exits the cell, while the nuclear membrane surrounds the nucleus and controls the movement of molecules in and out of the nucleus. They are structurally and functionally different but both are essential for cellular function.


Why are cellular transport and cellular communication factors that limit cell size?

The cellular transport and cellular communication factor that limit the cell size because all the materials that go in and out of a cell must pass through the plasma membrane.

The electron transport chains of cellular respiration are located?

This depends on whether you are a eukaryote, bacteria or archaea. In eukaryotes, the electron transport chain components are on the mitochondrial membrane.In bacteria and archaea, since there are no membrane-enclosed compartments, they are on the cellular membrane.


What is the function of plasma membrane proteins in cellular processes?

Plasma membrane proteins play a crucial role in cellular processes by facilitating the transport of molecules in and out of the cell, cell signaling, and cell adhesion. They help maintain the cell's structure and regulate its interactions with the external environment.
