If you are using a LAYTEX barrier than no. When condoms were first invented, there were pores in it that were big enough to allow microbes to slip through (as they perceived they would only need condoms for Birth Control). Nowadays, that is not the case.

What molecule diffuses out of the pores of the leaf?

The molecule that diffuses out of the pores of the leaf is called water vapor.


Does the size or the speed of a molecule determines whether it can pass through the pores of a membrane?

The speed doesn't necessarily determine the permeability, but the size does. Smaller molecules such as O2 can easily enter the cell while CO2 leaves the cell. There are other criteria that also determines whether a molecule can pass through the plasma membrane such as its solubility. Fat soluble molecules such as steroids can easily pass through the membrane.


Why can't DNA go to the ribosome?

DNA is too large a molecule to exit the nucleus through the nuclear pores.


Why can starch molecules not pass through dialysis tubing?

Starch molecules are too large to pass through the pores of dialysis tubing. Dialysis tubing has small pores that restrict the passage of large molecules like starch while allowing smaller molecules like water and ions to pass through via diffusion.


Why sodium chloride pass through filter paper?

Sodium chloride is a small molecule that can pass through the pores of the filter paper due to its size. The paper acts as a physical barrier that blocks larger particles while allowing smaller molecules like sodium chloride to pass through via simple diffusion.


What are the two characteristics of a molecule that will keep it from passing through a membrane and how does each keep the molecule from passing through?

Two characteristics that can prevent a molecule from passing through a membrane are size and charge. Larger molecules may be too big to fit through the pores in the membrane, while charged molecules may be repelled by the hydrophobic core of the membrane.

State one reason why some molecules can pass through a certain membranebut other molecules can not?

Molecules can pass through a membrane if they are small enough to fit through the pores or channels in the membrane. Larger molecules may not be able to pass through due to their size, charge, or inability to interact with the membrane components.


What water source is a molecule of water in once it has gone through transpiration?

A molecule of water that has gone through transpiration is typically found in the atmosphere as water vapor. It is released from plants through tiny pores in their leaves during the transpiration process and then enters the air until it condenses back into liquid form.


How does the MRNA get out of the nucleus?

mRNA is transported out of the nucleus through nuclear pores in a process called nuclear export. Specific proteins recognize and bind to the mRNA molecules, facilitate their transport through the nuclear pores, and into the cytoplasm where they can be translated into proteins.


Why could glucose could pass through the visking tubing?

Because it has starch in it.
