Title: Could you help me find an alternative picture for plasma membrane? Post by: smmunday on Dec 12, 2012 I cant use the actual picture of the plasma membrane itself.
Example for Nucleus could be a brain, Ribosomes could be protein or a chef. Well could you please give me some ideas on Plasma Membrane?

Post by: nursing1 on Dec 12, 2012 A plasma membrane is comparable to a wall, with some doors that only open up to let certain molecules through. Or you could compare it to skin. Or to a pillow case. You should pick something that shows that it is a protective layer around the cell.
Hope that this gives you some ideas....! Title: Could you help me find an alternative picture for plasma membrane? Post by: SmokeyV4L on Dec 12, 2012 The plasma membrane is like a chain-link fence with several gates in it. The chain-link fence has small opening that would only allow certain sized things through it, which is like the selectively permeable plasma membrane. The gates in the chain-linked fence would be analogous to membrane proteins that help transport larger substances by facilitated diffusion or active transport.
