Materials move into and out of cells through active transport, diffusion, and osmosis.
Active transport occurs when the cell must use energy to actively move the materials up (against) their concentration gradient.
Diffusion is passive. This means the cell need not expend energy, the material simply moves from an area of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. (For example, cook bacon in the kitchen and the smell fills the entire house.)
Oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse across the phospholipid bilayer. Other substances diffuse through proteins embedded in the membrane; this is called facilitated diffusion.
Osmosis is the movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane (also called a selectively permeable or differentially permeable membrane), into the solution with the higher solute concentration. This is also a passive process.

Do large cells move across the cell membrane quickly?
A large cell will never move across an intact cell membrane.
How do large cells move across the cell membrane?
There cannot be large cells inside a cell.
What organelle moves substances across the cell in one direction?
The plasma membrane surrounding animal cells is where the exchange of substances inside and outside of cells takes place. Some substances need to move from the extracellular fluid outside cells to the inside of the cell, and some substances need to move from the inside of the cell to the extracellular fluid.Some of the proteins that are stuck in the plasma membrane help to form openings (channels) in the membrane. Through these channels, some substances such as hormones or ions are allowed to pass through. They either are "recognized" by a receptor (a protein molecule) within the cell membrane, or they attach to a carrier molecule, which is allowed through the channels. Because the plasma membrane is choosy about what substances can pass through it, it is said to be selectively permeable.
What controls which substances can move in and out of cells?
Cell membrane controls which substances can move in and out of a cell. It is the dynamic boundary of cell
What is the protein binds to Particle and uses energy to move through the cell membrane?
protein binds to a particle and uses energy to move through the cell membrane
Describe the water molecules move through the cell membrane during osmosis?
Describe how water molecules move through the cell membrane during osmosis?
How does sodium ion molecule move into the cell through cell membrane?
Through diffusion.
What is the description for the cytoplasm?
Space between cell membrane and organelles. The place where metabolism occurs. The medium through which substances move in and out of the cells.
What Controls what moves into cells?
The Cell Membrane is usually attributed with controling which substances can move in and out of the cell.
Controls what moves into cells?
Cell membranes control what moves into cells by selectively allowing certain substances to pass through while blocking others. This selectivity is maintained through various processes such as diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport. Additionally, cell membranes contain specific transport proteins and channels that help regulate the movement of molecules in and out of the cell.
What is The plasma membrane helps to maintain a cells what?
The plasma membrane helps to maintain homeostassi within the cell by allowing substances to move in and out of the cell the plasma membrane is used to maintain homeostasis within the cell by allowing substances to move in and out of the cell
How water molucleus move through the cell membrane doing out mosis?
During osmosis, water molecules move through the cell membrane by passing through microscopic openings in the membrane. The openings are large enough for the water molecules to pass through.
