Hydrophobic molecules are permeable to the cell membrane. Anything that is samll and hydrophobic will pass easily. Larger, hydrophilic molecules require a transport protein to allow permeability.

What types of molecules can easily go through your cell membrane are permeable to the cell membrane?
Substances with a hydrophillic-lipophillic balance are permeable through the cell membrane.
Is the cell-membrane permeable?
The cell membrane is semi-permeable.
Is cell wall is a permeable membrane?
it is not selective permeable. - Cell membranes are selective permeable. Cell walls are fully permeable - which means that it allows all substances/molecules to pass in and out of the cell. It is located outside of the membrane.
What term is used to describe how the cell selects what materials enter and leave the cell?
selectively permeable or differentially permeable membrane
What characteristic does it called when the cell membrane allows only certain molecules and ions to enter or exit the cell?
A "semi permeable" membrane.
What type of molecules can easily go through your cell membrane or are permeable to the cell membrane?
Substances with a hydrophillic-lipophillic balance are permeable through the cell membrane.
What types of molecules can easily go through your cell membrane are permeable to the cell membrane?
Substances with a hydrophillic-lipophillic balance are permeable through the cell membrane.
What do cell membrane do that cell walls can't do?
Cell membrane is selectively permeable membrane, therefore it allows selective molecules to be taken in by the cell and excludes others. Whereas cell wall is permeable in nature and does not inhibit the intake of many molecules what the cell membrane does.
What is a selectlively permeable membrane?
The cell membrane is selectively permeable, allowing some molecules to pass through by osmosis
What do you call a cell membrane that allows certain molecules to pass through?
A selectively permeable membrane.
How is the membrane permeability?
means that the cell membrane has some control over what can cross it, so that only certain molecules either enter or leave the cell
Is the cell-membrane permeable?
The cell membrane is semi-permeable.
What is the movement of water molecules through a sectively-permeable cell membrane?
osmosis

What term is used to describe how the cell selects what materials enter and leave the cell?
selectively permeable or differentially permeable membrane
Which type of membrane surrounds a cell?
this is the cell membrane made primarily of lipid molecules with proteins incorporated into it that aid in transport of molecules across the membrane
What characteristic does it called when the cell membrane allows only certain molecules and ions to enter or exit the cell?
A "semi permeable" membrane.
