Maintained by the plasma membrane is what?
the plasma membrane maintains passage of ions Homeostasis
Which ions are permeable to phospholipids that make up the plasma membrane?
which ions are permeable to phospholipids that make up the plasma membrane
What movement do ion channels aid?
the movement of ions across a cell membrane.
The cell membrane also is called the?
The cell membrane is also known as the plasma membrane or the cytoplasmic membrane. It is a biological membrane that separates all cells' interior from the outside, though can be permeated by selection ions and molecules. Its basic function is to protect the cell from its surroundings.
What molecules passively diffuse across the plasma membrane?
Diffusion is a type of passive transport but the answer I think you are looking for is this: water, gasses(N,O2,CO2...), and ions(K+, Na+...)
How plasma membrane diffuse across plasma membrane?
Ions can't diffuse across membranes, they must used channels to transport across

Ions cannot cross back and forth across the neuron cell membrane?
Water diffuses across the plasma membrane, and this can affect cell size and .... proceeds, the different type cells of the embryo develop their ... or ion so that it can cross the plasma .... molecules cannot cross the membrane because they are un- able to ... plasma membrane and the back and forth arrows indicate that these.
Why can oxygen easily cross the plasma membrane but sodium ions are unable to cross the plasma membrane?
Gh
What two forces drive the passive transport of ions across a membrane?
Two forces drive the passive transport of ions across a membrane: -the concentration gradient of the ions -the effect of membrane potential (voltage) on the ions
What movement do ion channels aid?
the movement of ions across a cell membrane.
What ions can leak through the plasma membrane due to diffusion?
N, P, K and trace element ions
The cell membrane also is called the?
The cell membrane is also known as the plasma membrane or the cytoplasmic membrane. It is a biological membrane that separates all cells' interior from the outside, though can be permeated by selection ions and molecules. Its basic function is to protect the cell from its surroundings.
What ions are positively charged and can cross back and forth across neuron and cell membrane?
There are two ions that can cross the cell membrane. The positively charged sodium and potassium ions can cross back and forth across the neuron cell membrane.
What prevents charged molecules from diffusing across the cell membrane?
This depends on the membrane. For example, the plasma membrane of a eukaryotic cell allows many ions to passively diffuse. However, the prevention of ions across a membrane indicates that the membrane in question is most likely non-polar, meaning that they are hydrophobic. Non-polar molecules do not like to mix with polar molecules like ions, therefore they repel one another and active diffusion must be used to transport ions across a non-polar membrane.

Diffusion is a type of passive transport but the answer I think you are looking for is this: water, gasses(N,O2,CO2...), and ions(K+, Na+...)
