it moves through aquaporins in the membrane.
What else can I help you with?
What allows water to pass through?
water can pass through cell membranes by osmosis- similar to diffusion
Can water and oxygen pass through the cell walls?
Although the cell wall is tough, many materials, including water and oxygen, can pass through easily.
What substances do aquaporins allow to pass through?
Aquaporins allow water molecules to pass through cell membranes.
Molecules can pass through the cell membrane of the human cell?
Yes, molecules can pass through the cell membrane of human cells through various mechanisms such as simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, or active transport. The size, polarity, and concentration gradient of the molecule influence how it crosses the cell membrane.
What allows water molecules to pass through?
Water molecules are able to pass through cell membranes via specialized proteins called aquaporins. Aquaporins facilitate the movement of water across membranes by creating a channel for water molecules to pass through while preventing other molecules from entering. This selective permeability helps to regulate the flow of water in and out of cells.
What substances can easily pass through a cell membrane?
Small, non-polar molecules like oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water can easily pass through a cell membrane.
What does the cell membrane do inside of the animal cell?
The cell membrane is the layer that surrounds the cell and allows nutrients and water to pass through.
How quickly can water pass through the body's digestive system?
Water can pass through the body's digestive system relatively quickly, typically within a few hours. The exact time can vary depending on factors such as individual metabolism and hydration levels.
What kind of substance cannot pass through the cell membrane?
lipids, and ribosomeslipids
Where can phospholipids move and allow water?
freely and allow water and other hydrophylic molecules to pass through into or out of the cell.
What is the process by which tiny particles can pass through the cell membrane?
Small particles can pass through the cell membrane by simple diffusion. If the particles are water, the process is given a special name: osmosis.
What cell part provides support for the cell allows gases and water to pass through and provides protection?
The cell wall is the structure that provides support for the cell, allows gases and water to pass through, and provides protection by maintaining the cell's shape and rigidity. It is found in plant cells, bacteria, fungi, and some protists.
