... Osmosis is the other factor that makes the salt water cells shrink. Diffusion makes the cells shrink by diffusing the solvent through the semi- permeable membrane. The osmosis makes the salt go into the cell slower than the water comes out of the cell, so it shrinks. Since there is a solution outsid ...

Cell membrane



The cell membrane (also known as the plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane) is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment. The cell membrane is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules and controls the movement of substances in and out of cells. The basic function of the cell membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings. It consists of the phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins. Cell membranes are involved in a variety of cellular processes such as cell adhesion, ion conductivity and cell signalling and serve as the attachment surface for several extracellular structures, including the cell wall, glycocalyx, and intracellular cytoskeleton. Cell membranes can be artificially reassembled.
