What else can I help you with?
What would happen if cell membranes were not selective permeable?
It would be easier for harmful substances to enter.
What do the mouth absorb?
The mouth absorbs water, electrolytes, and some medications through the mucous membranes in the lining of the mouth. These substances can enter the bloodstream directly through these membranes.
How are selectively permeable membranes essential for life?
Because they allow the passage of water, lipids, nutrients and ions into the cell while checking large molecules and larger polar molecules. These are controlled by transport proteins in the cell membrane. Also the membrane can surround molecules and pinch off so that molecules can be transported in and out of the cell.
What is the cell membrane and what is its job?
Cell membranes only allow certain things to enter the cell. So basically they filter good stuff to come in the cell and don't allow bad stuff to enter. Permeable = allowed to enter Semi-permeable = somethings can enter; some can't Impermeable = nothing can enter
What do cell membranes allow?
Cell membranes allow the regulation of what enters and exits the cell, maintaining cell homeostasis. They also provide structural support and separate the cell's internal environment from the external environment. Additionally, cell membranes facilitate cell communication and recognition.
What are like fences that allow materials to enter and leave a cell?
cell membranes

What part of cells allow sugar oxygen and water to enter and waste to leave?
Cell membranes, specifically through channels and transport proteins, regulate the passage of nutrients such as sugar, oxygen, and water into cells and the removal of waste products. This selective permeability ensures that essential substances can enter the cell while harmful substances are kept out.

The mouth absorbs water, electrolytes, and some medications through the mucous membranes in the lining of the mouth. These substances can enter the bloodstream directly through these membranes.
Membranes that let some things through called selectively?
Semipermeable membranes. These membranes allow certain substances to pass through while blocking others based on size, charge, or other properties. Examples include cell membranes and dialysis membranes.
What substances enter any plant or animal cell?
Plant and animal cells allow various substances to enter through their cell membranes. Essential nutrients like glucose, amino acids, and ions (such as sodium and potassium) are transported into the cells, along with water through osmosis. Additionally, gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide can diffuse across the membrane. The specific substances that enter depend on the cell type and its metabolic needs.
What characteristics of cell membranes may explain why fat-soluble substances such as chloroform and ether rapidly affect cells?
The fact that cell membranes are semi-permiable creates openings for the substances to enter.
