Answer:
In. animals and plants,
plasma membrane structure and function are correlated. A cellmembrane consists
of protein, lipid and carbohydrates,
The protein
component present in membrane acts as a solute channels allowing the flow
ofminerals, hormones and cellular information from one organelle to another or
from one cellto another.
In case of
plants where minerals are absorbed actively from the soil. The plasma
membranepossess proteinaceous carrier.
The
oligosaccharides attached to membrane serve as recognition centers and help in
recognising foreign entities before allowing them entry into the cell.
The lipid
content of plasma membrane in plant and animal cells are arranged with their
hydrophilic polar head directed outwards and non-polar hydrophobic tails
directed inwards providing fluidity to the membrane, Glycocalyx present in cell
membrane also helps in cellular attachment.
