steroids are lipid in nature n also the plasma membrane is made up of lipids then as a rule of like dissolve like it can seep pass through the membrane

What would happen to a cell if materials could not move across the cell membrane?
it will died
What channel can help move things across the membrane?
Protein channels help move particles across the cell membrane
What is the barrier around the that lets substances move across it?
cell surface membrane
What protein is an integral membrane protein that helps move molecules across a cell membrane?
identify the name and purpose of the cell membrane proteins that look like tunnels
When an input of energy is required to move material through a cell membrane what transport takes place?
Active transport requires energy to move substances across a cell membrane against their gradient.
Do large cells move across the cell membrane quickly?
A large cell will never move across an intact cell membrane.
Which type of molecule can move passively across the membrane?
Water can move passively through a membrane by moving through the pores of a cell. Other substances cannot move through a cell membrane.
What does diffusion do in a cell?
Move things across the cell membrane.
What would happen if materials could not move across the cell membrane?
Isolation. And most materials can NOT move across the cell membrane. (For many things your cells have special proteins within the membrane for transport.)
Which one moves faster across the cell membrane the large or the small?
Small particles move faster across the membrane.
What would happen to a cell if materials could not move across the cell membrane?
it will died
What channel can help move things across the membrane?
Protein channels help move particles across the cell membrane
What 2 materials move across the cell membrane?
waste and nutrients
Does Phagocytosis move substances out of a cell?
Phagocytosis is the process of moving solids across a cell membrane into a cell.
What uses a protein to move a molecule across a membrane without energy?
Facilitated diffusion uses proteins to move a molecule across the cell membrane without energy.
If the inside and outside of a cell are both isotonic does water still move across the cell membrane?
no
How do large cells move across the cell membrane?
There cannot be large cells inside a cell.
