What allows water molecules to pass through?
water can pass through cell membranes by osmosis- similar to diffusion
What will happen if distilled water is hypotonic to a red blood cell?
The red blood cell would swell because more water would pass in than it would pass out.
What cell part provides support for the cell allows gases and water to pass through and provides protection?
cell wall
Where can phospholipids move and allow water?
freely and allow water and other hydrophylic molecules to pass through into or out of the cell.
What is the process by which tiny particles can pass through the cell membrane?
Small particles can pass through the cell membrane by simple diffusion. If the particles are water, the process is given a special name: osmosis.
What is it called when a substance can not pass through the cell membrain?
Selectively Permeable
What does a plant cell membrain do?
A plant's Cell Membrane is very thin and lets things pass in and out of the cell.
Molecules can pass through the cell membrane of the human cell?
The molecules that can pass through the cell membrane of the human cell include water. Other molecules include fat soluble vitamins.
What allows water to pass through?
water can pass through cell membranes by osmosis- similar to diffusion
What allows water molecules to pass through?
water can pass through cell membranes by osmosis- similar to diffusion
What substance must pass through a cell's membrane for the cell to continue to function?
water and nutrients.
What will happen if distilled water is hypotonic to a red blood cell?
The red blood cell would swell because more water would pass in than it would pass out.
Can water and oxygen pass through the cell walls?
Although the cell wall is tough, many materials, including water and oxygen, can pass through easily.
What substance can pass though cell membranes by diffusion?
water
What does the cell membrane do inside of the animal cell?
The cell membrane is the layer that surrounds the cell and allows nutrients and water to pass through.
Why did the water in the vacuole leave the cell?
I assume you mean contractile vacuole.There are filaments and coat proteins that surround this vacuole and squeeze the water out of the cell by ATP powered contraction. The cell has a semipermeable membrane that water can pass through and also aquaporins to facilitate water's exit from the cell.
What cell part provides support for the cell allows gases and water to pass through and provides protection?
cell wall
