Are capillaries permeable to proteins?

Yes, capillaries are permeable to proteins.


Exchange of nutrients and gases between the blood and tissue cells?

This process occurs through the capillaries. Nutrients and oxygen diffuse from the blood into the tissues, while waste products and carbon dioxide diffuse from the tissues into the blood. This exchange is facilitated by the thin walls of the capillaries and the high surface area for diffusion.


Leaky capillaries found in the bone marrow are called?

Leaky capillaries found in the bone marrow are called sinusoidal capillaries. These specialized capillaries allow larger cells like blood cells to move in and out of the bloodstream more easily due to their larger size and more permeable nature. This facilitates the movement of cells between the bone marrow and blood circulation.


What are Blood capillaries surrounded by?

Blood capillaries are surrounded by a layer called the basement membrane, which provides structural support and acts as a barrier between the capillaries and surrounding tissues. Pericytes, contractile cells that regulate blood flow and vessel stability, may also be found surrounding blood capillaries.


What would happento the cellular respiration process if the enzyme for one step of the process was missing?

If an enzyme in a sequence of enzyme-controlled reactions is missing or defective then the process will stop at that point. So respiration could proceed until it reached the reaction which needed the missing or defective enzyme at which point it would stop.
