Question

Compare and contrast the structure and function of the plasma membrane to the structure and function of the cell wall.

Answer 1

well usually cell wall helps to maintain the shape of the plant cell which plasma can't do.

both of them controls movement of substances into in and out of the cell.

sturuture:

plasma membrane contain outer membrane that surrounds the entire contents of cell and made of protein and phospholids.

cell wall are strong n rigid, made from celllouse fibre and fully permeable

Answer 2

Answer: The plasma membrane is made up of a two lipid layer which contains transport proteins and other carbohydrates. The plasma membrane is a living layer and selectively permits materials to go in and out of the cell. Micro molecules such as water and oxygen gas diffuses in the lipid layer while macro molecules such as glucose and amino acids enters through the help of transport proteins: channel and carrier proteins.

For the cell wall it is made up of cellulose which makes it hard and rigid. The cell wall is a nonliving layer. It supports the cell and gives strength as well.
