How does the selective permeability of the membrane help the cell.
This allows the cell to maintain the proper shape.
This allows the cell to regulate what enters and exits
This allows the cell to maintain a constant temperature.
All of these

sterols
carbohydrates
phospholipids
proteins
Question 8
Select one answer.
All of the following have an effect on the fluidity of a membrane except:
interactions among fatty acids in the core of the bilayer
the cholesterol content
the ratio of saturated to unsaturated fatty acids
the presence of integral proteins in the membrane
Explanation / Answer
How does the selective permeability of the membrane help the cell- All of the above
Explaination:A feature and a function of the plasma membrane that is essential to maintain homeostasis by regulating the passage of some substances while preventing others from entering the cell.
6. What is the role of carbohydrates in the plasma membrane?adhesion
Explaination: Carbohydrates often attach to the external surface of integral proteins. These carbohydrates may hold adjoining cells together or act as sites where viruses or chemical messengers such as hormones can attach.
7. Which component of the plasma membrane has the widest variety of functions? Proteins.
Explaination- Other component contribute most on the selective permeability.
8. All of the following have an effect on the fluidity of a membrane except: the presence of integral proteins in the membrane
Cholesterol helps regulate the fluidity of the membrane when the temperature is too hot or too cold. The interactions of fatty acids are kind of what make up the fluidity. And the saturated fats are less fluid, while the unsaturated fats increase fluidity
