What happens if a molecule is too large to go through a membrane?
The molecule will be transported across the membrane by way of a transport protein or protein channel.
Do large cells move across the cell membrane quickly?
A large cell will never move across an intact cell membrane.
What is the difference between endocytosis and exocytosis?
Endocytosis takes material into the cell by infolding of the cell membrane. Exocytosis releases large amounts of material. Endocytosis: the process in which a cell membrane surrounds a particle and encloses the particle in a vesicle to bring the particle into the cell Excocytosis: the process in which a cell releases a particle by enclosing the particle in a vesicle that then moves to the cell surface and fuses with the cell membrane Endocytis is a process in the cell that happens when a cell is taking in a substance(Nutrients, Medicine, etc.) for uses inside the cell, Exocytosis is when the cell is getting rid of the waste
Why can oxygen diffuses across a cell membrane but Protein can not?
Its too large
What molecules will move easily across the cell membrane: large proteins, starch, water, or DNA?
It depends on the membrane, but generally water is the only one that will move across unaided. The rest are too large.

How large are particle accelerators?
Small particle accelerators can sit on a desktop, large circular ones can be miles across
A cell will engulf a large particle of matter that would be too large to pass through the membrane?
phagocytosis
Which one moves faster across the cell membrane the large or the small?
Small particles move faster across the membrane.
How does a large particle leave a cell by a active transport?
It requires energy, and a protein carrier molecule. The large particle binds to the protein carrier on the inside of the cell. It is then transported across the membrane as a result of a conformational change in the protein (think of it flipping), and then it is released on the outside of the cell. Again, this requires some source of energy.
