What Substances that can freely dissolve through the plasma membrane are made of?
Substances that can freely pass through the plasma membrane must be small and non-polar.
What substance is most likely to passively diffuse across the plasma membrane by dissolving in the membrane?
Lipid-soluble molecules such as O2 and CO2 diffuse freely through the plasma membrane.
How do lipid or oil get through plasma cell membrane?
Lipids or oil get through plasma membrane because plasma membrane is a selectively permeable membrane. It allows entry and exit of only some substances through it.
Why do most substances have to be assisted through the plasma membrane?
The plasma membrane is made from tightlypack phospholipids. The plasma membrane prevents polar molecules and large molecules from diffusing freely. Fatty (lipophilic) molecules can easily pass through. since cells often need water soluble materials such as water and sugars, transporters and pores need to be made out of proteins to let those molecules through. One of the most important pumps is the Na+/K+ ATPase pump which maintains gradients of sodium and potassium across the cell membrane
How does nutrients enter a cell?
The plasma membrane.
What Substances that can freely dissolve through the plasma membrane are made of?

What does not freely diffuse through the plasma membrane?
glucose
What is made from lipids and diffuse freely into cells through the plasma membrane?
protiens
What substance is most likely to passively diffuse across the plasma membrane by dissolving in the membrane?
Lipid-soluble molecules such as O2 and CO2 diffuse freely through the plasma membrane.
What is the semipermeable membrane?
The cytoplasm of a cell is surrounded by a cell membrane or plasma membrane. The membrane is said to be 'semi-permeable', in that it can either let a substance pass through freely, pass through to a limited extent or not pass through at all.the membrane is somewhat effective at letting fluids through
How do lipid or oil get through plasma cell membrane?
Lipids or oil get through plasma membrane because plasma membrane is a selectively permeable membrane. It allows entry and exit of only some substances through it.
What do you call the movement through the cell membrane?
permeation through the plasma membrane perhaps?
