Glucose
A molecule that is too large or charged would be unable to diffuse through a cell membrane.
Because it is a small molecule, water can diffuse through the cell membrane.
by allowing them to diffuse through the cell membrane
Substances that are small, nonpolar, and uncharged will diffuse through a membrane easily. This includes gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide, as well as small lipophilic molecules. Larger or charged molecules may require assistance from transport proteins to cross the membrane.
Yes, carbon dioxide (CO2) can diffuse through the lipid bilayer of a cell membrane.
Sugar molecules do not diffuse through a plant cell membrane because they are too large and polar to pass through the hydrophobic interior of the lipid bilayer. Instead, sugar molecules are transported across the membrane by specific transport proteins, such as sugar transporters, that facilitate their movement into the cell.
Yes, ions can diffuse through a membrane.
Water-soluble molecules diffuse through the cell membrane by passing through protein channels or transporters that are embedded in the membrane. These channels and transporters allow the molecules to move across the membrane, from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, without requiring energy.
No, not all molecules can diffuse through all cell membranes. The ability of a molecule to diffuse through a cell membrane depends on its size, charge, and solubility in lipids. Small, non-polar molecules can generally pass through the lipid bilayer of cell membranes via simple diffusion, while larger, polar molecules may require specific transport mechanisms.
starch doesnt diffuse through the dialysis membrane.
Oxygen (O2)
Protists eliminate wastes by allowing them to diffuse through the cell membrane.
