What must a substance pass through to enter or leave a cell?
If substances did not pass through cell membranes, then all single-celled and multicellular organisms would die.
Which type of molecule can move passively across the membrane?
Water can move passively through a membrane by moving through the pores of a cell. Other substances cannot move through a cell membrane.
What does the cell membrane do to avoid hings going inside the cell?
Cell membrane is a Selectively Permeable Membrane so it does not allow all the substances to pass through it.It controls the movement of substances in and out of the substances.Unlike a cell membrane,the cell wall has large holes in it allowing the water and dissolved minerals to pass through hence cell wall is known as Freely Permeable Membrane.
The flexible outer boundary of the cell through which substances enter and exit is called?
Cell membrane
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 is the substances that passes through a cell?
cell membrane
What type of molecules can easily go through your cell membrane or are permeable to the cell membrane?
Substances with a hydrophillic-lipophillic balance are permeable through the cell membrane.
What types of molecules can easily go through your cell membrane are permeable to the cell membrane?
Substances with a hydrophillic-lipophillic balance are permeable through the cell membrane.
How does the composition of the cell membrane help regulate the movement of substances into and out of the cell?
They pass through channels in the cell membrane.
What must a substance pass through to enter or leave a cell?
If substances did not pass through cell membranes, then all single-celled and multicellular organisms would die.
What substance will diffuse through a membrane?
The three substances that can diffuse through a cell membrane are CO2, O2, AND H2O.
How are diffusion and facilitated diffusion similar?
Substances enter a cell through the cell membrane
What specific substances can pass through a cell membrane by diffusion?
Oxygen
Which type of molecule can move passively across the membrane?
Water can move passively through a membrane by moving through the pores of a cell. Other substances cannot move through a cell membrane.

What is the movement of substances through a cell membrane without the use of cell energy?
passive transport
The flexible outer boundary of the cell through which substances enter and exit is called?
Cell membrane
