Question

What characteristics of plasma membrane enable cells for osmosis for endocylosis

Solution

Dear Student

The plasma membrane is a selectively-permeable membrane which allows the entry and exit of certain molecules while prevents the transportation of other molecules. This characteristic of plasma membrane enables cells for osmosis and endocytosis.
