small and hyrdophobic molecules
Large or polar molecules, such as proteins or carbohydrates, face difficulty in passing through a cell membrane due to their size or charge.
it depends on what you are referring to. the lipid bilayer is exactly what it says.it is two layers compsed of lipids. lipid molecules have two properties: a hydophobi tail and a hydrophilic head. so when the bi layer is put together, it has the tails facing eachter and the heads out to react with water conditions in the body. the membrane is also embedded with proteins of all dffierent kinds that allows ions to cross and this allows for cell communication
yes, they only allow water moleclues to pass through the membrane.
Since a membrane is composed of two or more kinds of tissues, it is an example of a composite tissue.
Lipids are molecules themselves. It doesn't make sense to ask what molecules "make them up." But there are atoms that make up lipids. These atoms are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. There are also four kinds of lipids, these are phospholipids, steroids, fats, and waxes.

Water molecules freely diffuse across a semipermeable membrane.
Small ones, water, anything soluble in both fat and water.
Channels, transporters, and receptors can be opened or closed in a cell membrane. Channels allow specific ions or molecules to pass through, transporters move specific molecules across the membrane, and receptors regulate signaling processes by opening or closing in response to specific molecules.

Lipids and proteins are two kinds of molecules that combine to form cell membranes. Lipids make up the majority of the membrane structure, creating a phospholipid bilayer, while proteins are embedded in the lipid bilayer and play various roles in cell function.
Lysosome is a membrane cell that is found in animals. it is capable of breaking down all kinds of bio molecules, including proteins, acids and lipids.
yes, they only allow water moleclues to pass through the membrane.
Diffusion is essentially the movement of solute molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. A semi permeable membrane need not be used to study this phenomenon
No. The cell membrane allows things to diffuse through the membrane through both active and passive ways. The nuclear envelope only allows a few things to pass though, like mRNA. The nuclear envelope is much more selective.
Passive transport is dependent on the permeability of the cell membrane, which, in turn, is dependent on the organization and characteristics of the membrane lipids and proteins. The four main kinds of passive transport are diffusion, facilitated diffusion, filtration and osmosis.Simple diffusion is the unassisted passage of small, hydrophobic, nonpolar molecules.
They are used in Facilitated Diffusion, helping to transport ions, macromolecules, and other substances incapable of entering a cell by themselves to cross through the plasma membrane of the cell.
