TRICK QUESTION Mrs. J! You almost got me. I know the membrane is IMPERMEABLE to the solutes, so they stay put while the WATER moves!
Because cell function is so heavily dependent on effectively transporting materials across the cell membrane, cell size is limited due to the need for a ___________ ratio of surface area to volume.
The point of organelles such as the mitochondria, golgi, ER, etc. all having membranes is to ...
Provide extra protection to those critical organelles
Increase surface area for materials transport
Prevent hazardous materials from escaping the organelles and damaging the rest of the cell
All of the above

Gap junction
Nucleus
Golgi Body
Lysosome
This theory states that membrane bound organelles evolved from once free-living prokaryotes that were engulfed to compose the eukaryotic cells that we observe today.
