Molecules in the cell membrane (plasma membrane) control which substances move or out of a cell.
Phospholipids form a barrier to most compounds. To move through the phospholipid bilayer, molecules must be small and uncharged; examples are water, dissolved oxygen, and carbon dioxide. These move through the bilayer by diffusion(osmosis in the case of water).
Other compounds must pass through proteins embedded in the phospholipid bilayer.
Channel proteins allow the passage of molecules that are small enough and are not repelled by any charge around the pore (channel) of the protein. The movement of substances through channel proteins is called facilitated diffusion, being facilitated by the protein.
Carrier proteins are highly selective, and move substances either by facilitated diffusion or by active transport, which requires energy. This energy may be supplied by the hydrolysis of ATP.

Which structure is in both plant cells and animal cells controls the passage of substances into and out of cells?
The cell membrane is the structure found in both plant and animal cells that controls the passage of substances into and out of cells. It is a selectively permeable barrier that regulates the movement of molecules such as nutrients, ions, and waste products.
What structure separates the interior and exterior of all cells?
The plasma membrane separates the interior of all cells from their external environment. It is a selectively permeable barrier that controls the passage of substances in and out of the cell.
Do any of the Cells lack a Cell membrane?
No, all cells have a cell membrane that acts as a protective barrier around the cell. It controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell, maintaining its internal environment. Without a cell membrane, the cell would not be able to survive.
What structure controls the movement of materials into and out of all cells?
The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, controls the movement of materials into and out of all cells. It is a selectively permeable barrier that regulates the passage of substances in and out of the cell to maintain internal homeostasis.
What are Cells that let some substances in keep others out let some substances out?
These are known as selectively permeable cells, which have semi-permeable membranes that allow certain substances to pass through while blocking others. This selective permeability is essential for controlling the movement of molecules in and out of the cell to maintain proper balance and function.
What controls which substances can move in and out of cells?
Cell membrane controls which substances can move in and out of a cell. It is the dynamic boundary of cell
What is the property that allows only some substances in and out of cells?
The permeability of the cell membrane controls which substances may pass in or out of the cell.
What Controls what moves into cells?
The Cell Membrane is usually attributed with controling which substances can move in and out of the cell.
Which structure is in both plant cells and animal cells controls the passage of substances into and out of cells?
The cell membrane is the structure found in both plant and animal cells that controls the passage of substances into and out of cells. It is a selectively permeable barrier that regulates the movement of molecules such as nutrients, ions, and waste products.
In the plant cell What cell lets substances in and out?
A plant cell has a cell membrane which controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell. :D
What does the cell membrane do in animal cells?
It controls what substances go in and out. Ask your science teacher for more tips on what the cell membrane does...
What is found around the cell and lets materials in and out of the cell?
A cell membrane surrounds all cells and controls the movement of substances.
What lets substances like food and oxygen diffuse into body cells?
The semi-permeable membrane in cells. Allows some substances to go through and not others.
What structure separates the interior and exterior of all cells?
The plasma membrane separates the interior of all cells from their external environment. It is a selectively permeable barrier that controls the passage of substances in and out of the cell.
What dos the cell wall do in the animal cell?
Animal cells do not have cell walls (plant cells do). The cell membrane of an animal cell controls the flow of substances in and out of the cell, and keeps the cell contents contained.
What structure controls the movement of materials into and out of all cells?
The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, controls the movement of materials into and out of all cells. It is a selectively permeable barrier that regulates the passage of substances in and out of the cell to maintain internal homeostasis.
