It doesn't! it just lets some materials that are useful for the cells into the membrane and others out, through diffusion.

What moves materials in a cell membrane without using energy?

Passive transport is the process in which dissolved materials move across a cell membrane without using a cell's energy.

The movement of materials through a cell membrane without using the cells energy?

It's called passive transport for a cell's membrane. (I checked with my science teacher)


How does the cell transport materials across the cell membrane?

What is the process by which materials enter and leave the cell through the cell membrane?

Either active transport, passive transport, or facilitated diffusion


What would happen if materials could not move across the cell membrane?

Isolation. And most materials can NOT move across the cell membrane. (For many things your cells have special proteins within the membrane for transport.)


The movement of substances across the cell membrane that requires the cell to use energy?

It's called active transport. When talking about the cell, it is usually bigger substances that use passages in the cell membrane to access the inner part of the cell, and they need energy to get there. The opposite; passive transport or diffusion, is the movement of dissolved materials through a cell membrane without the use of cellular energy. THis happens with smaller substances.


What process require ATP energy to transport materials across a selectively premeable membrane into the cell?
