At physiological temperatures, cell membranes are fluid; at cooler temperatures, they become gel-like. Scientists who model membrane structure and dynamics describe the membrane as a fluid mosaic ...

The cell wall surrounds the plasma membrane and provides the cell tensile strength and protection. Plant cells have some specialized properties that make them distinct from animal cells.

Cell structure Description Function Cell type Cell wall Freely permeable layer surrounding cell membrane. The cell wall of plant cells is made from cellulose. This gives them a rigid structure.

It's no coincidence that our bodies feel a little creakier as we age. The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age ...
