Which molecules are embedded within the lipid bilayer to help substances move through the membrane?
proteins.proteins
What types of molecules have difficulty crossing the plasma membrane?
Large, polar, uncharged molecules cannot pass through a membrane without the help of protein channels embedded into the plasma membrane. Ions also have difficulty passing; they need ATPs.
What does semi permeable membrane do?
I semi-permeable membrane is a membrane when only certain substances can pass through it.it is a membrane that will only allow certain molecules through it . in general oxygen , food and water are allowed to enter ; waste products are allowed to exit and harmful substances are kept out. hope this helps.
Do substances enter any plant or animal cell by passing through a cell membrane?
Molecules can not pass through the cell membrane, because endocytosis is important for those large molecules that can not pass through the cell membrane!!
Which part of a cell allows substances to pass through it?
The cell membrane, which encloses the cell, is a selective membrane which allows some molecules to pass and others not.

How do your cells get the substances they need?
Most cells use active transport proteins embedded in the membrane to allow large or polarized molecules to pass through rather than simply dissolve through like most ions and water molecules can.
Functions of proteins embedded in the membrane?
There are two types of proteins that are embedded in phospholipid membranes, extrinsic and intrinsic. Extrinsic proteins are only partially embedded in the membrane. They aid the structural stability of the membrane and when in conjunction with glycolipids can be involved in cell recognition. Intrinsic proteins pass all the way through a membrane. Some of them may be channel proteins which act as passages through the membrane for some molecules and ions.
What types of membrane allow solvent molecules to pass through but do not allow solute molecules to pass through?
A membrane that does not allow substances through is impermeable. One that allows some substances, but not others, is semipermeable or selectively permeable.
What type of molecules can easily go through your cell membrane or are permeable to the cell membrane?
Substances with a hydrophillic-lipophillic balance are permeable through the cell membrane.
What types of molecules can easily go through your cell membrane are permeable to the cell membrane?
Substances with a hydrophillic-lipophillic balance are permeable through the cell membrane.
If the cell membrane is selectively permeable What properties would non penetrating substances have?
non penetrating substances may have molecules too large to go through a membrane or are chemically repelled by the membrane so it can't go through.
What types of molecules have difficulty crossing the plasma membrane?
Large, polar, uncharged molecules cannot pass through a membrane without the help of protein channels embedded into the plasma membrane. Ions also have difficulty passing; they need ATPs.
What is membrane permeability?
Membrane permeability refers to the ability of molecules, substances, etc. to pass through the membrane. For example, the cell membrane is referred to as 'semi-permeable' because it allows some molecules (such as water) to enter, and stops other molecules (such as sodium ions) from passing through the membrane. If these want to get into the cell, they must then rely on proteins in the cell membrane to let them in.
