Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The plasma membrane is responsible for regulating molecules and ions that pass into and out of the cell, recognizing and communicating between different cells and tissues, and maintaining connections between adjacent cells. However, it is not responsible for producing proteins used in construction of the cell. That is the function of the ribosomes and endoplasmic reticulum.
