What would the cell be without the plasma membrane? I mean really – A bunch of organelles floating around everywhere, anything being able to get in or out – that’s just not a pretty picture. In this section, I talk about the structure and function of the plasma membrane, and how important it is for maintaining homeostasis (balance).
So go ahead and watch the video, learn about the phospholipid bilayer that we call the plasma membrane, and be intrigued.
Outline:
- Maintaining a Balance
- The Plasma Membrane
- The Structure of the Plasma Membrane
