What The permeability of a cell membrane depends on the ability of a molecule to diffuse across that membrane. Usually only molecules that are fat-soluble can permeate a cell membrane because?
Most of the bilayer is hydrophobic; therefore water or water-soluble molecules do not pass through easily. Usually only fat soluble are allowed through.A cell controls what moves through the membrane by means of membrane proteins embedded in the phospholipid bilayer Some membrane proteins have carbohydrates attached to them, forming glycoproteins that act as identification markers.

What will happen if a cell is phisically damadged?
Depends on the damage, but any tears in the membrane usually results in the dissolution of the cell.
During endocytosis what happens to the pocket in the cell membrane when it breaks loose from the membrane?
Usually, the membrane will burst and let its contents out into the cell membrane and get used up.
What makes up a selectively permeable membrane?
Plasma membrane filters what the cell needs and keeps out what will harm it. this property is called selective permeability.

What is the membrane on drum consist called?
The membrane stretched across the top or bottom of a drum is called a 'drum skin' or drumhead.If you also meant to ask what the membrane consists of then the answer to that is: usually plastic.
What controls what goes in an out a cell?
The cell membrane, which is usually semi-permeable.
