Smaller particles are more likely to move by diffusion. Fat soluble substances are also more likely to move through diffusion also.

How do substances move in a cell?
By Diffusion and Osmosis.Diffusion is literally a "process of scattering" (diffus). The scattering process of diffusion arises from the fact that all particles are constantly moving in random directions. During diffusion, particles move by chance from a region where their concentration is high, to a region where their concentration is low.osmosis -is the net movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from a region of a higher concentration to a region of lower concentration...
What is active process?
When a cell uses the bond energy of ATP to move substances across it's boundaries, the porcess is an active process. Subtances moved by active means are unable to pass by diffusion.
What is the name of the process where materials are moved across a cell membrane?
Active transport.The energy is provided by a high-energy molecule, often ATP.Active transport is used to move a substance against (= up) its concentration gradient.Diffusion is what moves across the plasma membrane. This cannot move across water.
Why are proteins and polysaccharides cannot be transported across a cell membrane by carrier proteins?
They are too large to be transformed by carrier proteins. They are moved across by Vesicles instead.
During active transport substances move from regions of what?
in active transport, where do molecules always go
What is the process that utilizes a carrier to move marerials across the plasma membrane in the direction of the concentration?
Diffusion is what carries materials across the plasma membrane. The diffusion cannot be moved across water.
What is the process by which substances are moved through the cell membrane by a carrier molecule?
facilitated diffusion or active transport
Is osmosis a physical or chemical change?
Physical. The water is not changed chemically, it is just moved by diffusion across a membrane.

Process when large molecules food and other substances are packaged and moved across the membrane?
bulk transport
Movement of large molecules into a cell is called?
hydrogen bondingANS2:Substances are moved into cells by both active transport and passive transport. An example of active transport is "Endocytosis". An example of passive transport is "Diffusion".
Describe several ways molecules are moved across a plasma membrane?
Diffusion, osmosis, facilitated transport and active transport- which requires energy to work.
Active transport occurs when substances are enzymatically moved through or across a membrane?
Yes, the is accomplished by the ENERGY that is contained in Adenosine tri phosphate!
How do diffusion osmosis facilitated diffusion and active transport diffusion differ?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration. e.g. Exchange of gases in the lungs or body tissues. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of low solute to an area of high solute concentration. Faciliated diffusion is the passive transport of molecules down a concentration gradient. It is simply diffusion that involves a protein to make diffusion happen more easily across a cell membrane. Active transport is the moving of substances across the cell membrane using the cell's energy. Molecules are moved against a concentration gradient, i.e they move from an area of lesser concentration to an area of greater concentration. Tlhis is done by a carrier molecules which gets its energy from ATP.
What substance crosses the cell membrane by simple diffusion?
Some substances, such as fructose molecules, need a little assistance to enter and exit cells.Proteins imbedded in the cell membrane lightly bind to these substances and then change shape to allow the substance to move across the cell membrane.This process is called facilitated diffusion.In facilitated diffusion, substances are moved from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration.
What substances is moved by diffusion?
non-polar molecules like fatty acids and retinol are transported through facilitated diffusion
When molecules such as oxygen are moved into Cells along their concentration gradient directly through the Cell membrane - this is called?
Trans-membrane diffusion.
