State one possible reason a certain substance can not pass across a cell membrane?

The cell membrane is selectively permeable. Some substances like molecules are too big to pass through the membrane. The membrane allows passive transport of moleculesÊ by filtration, diffusion, or osmosis.


What determines the direction of net movement across a cellmembrane?

The direction of net movement across a cell membrane is determined by the concentration gradient of a substance, with molecules moving from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Additionally, the permeability of the membrane to the specific molecules also influences their movement. External factors such as temperature and pressure can also impact the direction of movement across the membrane.
