Hey there fellow user!
Thank you for this interesting question.
Here is the list of materials that could enter the cell which I could remember at the top of my head:
Water
Sodium ions
Potassium ions
Chloride ions
Calcium ions
Magnesium ions
Hydrogen ions (protons)
Tiny microbial prey (if you are thinking of an independent cell)
Oxygen
Sugars
Salts
Bacteria and viruses (during an event of infection)
I hope this is good and helpful for you! 😄
Which statements describe the cell membrane? Check all that apply. It only allows certain materials to leave the cell. It allows all materials to leave the cell. It only allows certain materials to enter the cell. It allows all materials to enter the cell. It helps the cell get rid of waste. It brings waste into the cell for storage.
The cell membrane functions as a barrier to protect the cell's internal environment, but it also needs to allow essential nutrients and molecules to enter the cell for survival. Likewise, waste and other materials need to be able to leave the cell to maintain proper cellular function and prevent buildup of harmful substances. This balance of permeability is crucial for the cell's overall health and function.
Materials can enter a cell through processes like diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport. These substances can leave a cell through processes such as diffusion, osmosis, and exocytosis.
Living cells maintain internal conditions necessary for survival by controlling the materials that enter and leave the cell. This process, known as cellular homeostasis, helps regulate the concentration of nutrients, ions, and waste products inside the cell to ensure proper functioning and overall health.
No, exocytosis is actually the process by which materials are moved out of a cell. It involves the vesicle in which the materials are contained fusing with the cell membrane and releasing the contents outside the cell.

This part of the cell is refferred to as the cell 'membrane'
Materials usually enter through the cell wall.

The function of the vacuole is for transporting & storing materials inside the cell. It allows materials to enter & exit the cell.
