Cell Membrane
Yes, materials that enter the cell by phagocytosis also cross through the cell membrane, but in a different manner compared to passive or active transport. In phagocytosis, the cell membrane engulfs large particles or microorganisms, forming a vesicle that brings these materials into the cell. This process involves the membrane folding around the substance rather than allowing it to pass through like smaller molecules do in passive or active transport.
The cell membrane
Cell Membrane
Through proteins in the membrane.
Which statements describe the cell membrane? Check all that apply. It only allows certain materials to leave the cell. It allows all materials to leave the cell. It only allows certain materials to enter the cell. It allows all materials to enter the cell. It helps the cell get rid of waste. It brings waste into the cell for storage.
Materials enter and leave the cell through the process of passive and active transport. Passive transport includes diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion, while active transport involves the use of energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient. Additionally, materials can also enter and leave the cell through endocytosis and exocytosis, which involve the cell membrane forming vesicles to take in or expel large particles or molecules.
Materials can exit the cell using exocitosis. Endocitosis is when cells enter the cell by the cell forcing the material to enter. Osmosis and diffusion are also ways that materials can enter/exit the cell. Remember, the cell membrane is made up of protein channels and fat layers!
The process by which large molecules enter a cell through pouches in the membrane is called endocytosis. During endocytosis, the cell membrane forms a pouch around the molecule, encloses it, and brings it into the cell as a vesicle. This allows the cell to take in larger molecules that would not be able to pass through the membrane on their own.
Phospholipids permit lipid-soluble materials to easily enter or leave the cell by diffusion through the cell membrane. Phospholipids form a bilayer or double layer which makes up most of the membrane.
Materials enter and leave the nucleus through nuclear pore complexes in the nuclear envelope. Large molecules, such as proteins and RNA, are actively transported into and out of the nucleus through these pores using specific transport proteins. Small molecules, like ions and small proteins, can freely diffuse through the pores.
Small uncharged substances enter and leave the cell membrane through passive diffusion. This process relies on the concentration gradient and does not require energy input from the cell.
