Plasma Membrane
All living cells, prokaryotic and eukaryotic, have a plasma membrane that encloses their contents and serves as a semi-porous barrier to the outside environment.
Plasma Membrane (Cell Membrane)
The plasma membrane, also called the cell membrane, is the membrane found in all cells that separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment.
The inner leaflet of a typical mammalian plasma membrane contains 20-30% univalent PS (phosphatidylserine) and ~1% multivalent PtdIns(4,5)P2. Numerous proteins have clusters of basic (or basic/hydrophobic) residues that bind to these acidic lipids.
Plasma Membrane
The plasma membrane surrounds the cell and functions as an interface between the living interior of the cell and the nonliving exterior.
All cells have one.
plasma membrane -- Outer membrane of a cell, sometimes called the cell membrane. The term plasma membrane is used more frequently when discussing prokaryotes.
plasma membrane
[Gk. plasma, form or mold + L. membrana, skin, parchment]
The membrane at the boundary of every cell that acts as a selective barrier, thereby regulating the cell's chemical composition.

The Plasma Membrane
The plasma membrane serves as the interface between the machinery in the interior of the cell and the extracellular fluid (ECF) that bathes all cells.
Plasma Membrane
A lipid/protein/carbohydrate complex, providing a barrier and containing transport and signaling systems.
plasma membrane
This is a lipid bilayer much like the cytoplasmic (plasma) membrane of other cells.
plasma membrane - encloses the cell, defines its boundaries, and maintains the essential differences between the cytosol and the extracellular environment ...
plasma membrane Outermost membrane of a cell; its surface has molecular regions that detect changes in external conditions and act as a selective barrier to the passage of ions and molecules between the cell and its environment.
The plasma membrane is a lipid bilayer membrane that separates the cell from its environment and regulates the transport of molecules and signals into and out of the cell.
The nuclear envelope is the membrane around the nucleus of the cell.
The plasma membrane of neurons, like all other cells, has an unequal distribution of ions and electrical charges between the two sides of the membrane. The outside of the membrane has a positive charge, inside has a negative charge.
The plasma membrane (a phospholipid bilayer) separates the interior of the cell from its environment and serves as a filter and communications beacon.
The plasma membrane is constituted by a phospholipidic bi-layer with proteins incrusted through it from outside to inside.
Cytoplasm - collective term for cytosol and all the organelles contained in it (outside the nucleus and within the plasma membrane) ...
The plasma membrane does all of these except ______. a) contains the hereditary material; b) acts as a boundary or border for the cytoplasm; c) regulates passage of material in and out of the cell; d) functions in the recognition of self ...
Because, as you might imagine, a vesicle swimming up against a plasma membrane, it doesn't just fuse. It's very difficult for that to happen. So it has to assemble a whole bunch of macromolecules at that spot.
The kidney tubule cells have different proteins in the plasma membrane facing the inner side of the tubule from the proteins in the plasma membrane on the outer surface of the cells.
membrane-bound structures in the egg, derived from the Golgi apparatus, and found just beneath the plasma membrane.
cortical granules/vesicles - membrane-bound structures in the egg, derived from the Golgi apparatus, and found just beneath the plasma membrane.
Coated pits Specialized regions of the plasma membrane containing localized cell-membrane receptors. The cytosolic side of these indentations is coated with the protein clathrin.
cleavage
The process of cytokinesis in animal cells, characterized by pinching of the plasma membrane; also, the succession of rapid cell divisions without growth during early embryonic development that converts the zygote into a ball of cells.

In addition, the Deinococcal outer membrane lipids are complex and distinct from those found in the rest of the bacterial world and it has been suggested that they, together with the plasma membrane, may also be involved in stress resistance.
