Cell membranes usually allow what substances to enter a cell?
Cell membranes usually allow water, gases (such as oxygen and carbon dioxide), and small uncharged molecules to enter a cell. Larger molecules or charged ions may require specific transport proteins or channels to cross the membrane.
What type of molecules cannot enter the cell?
polar molecules are repelled by the cells electrical charge.
Large molecules are surrounded by the cell membrane and enter the cell?
Large molecules can enter cells through processes like endocytosis, where the cell membrane surrounds the molecule and engulfs it in a vesicle. This allows large molecules to be transported into the cell without crossing the lipid bilayer of the membrane.
What must the molecules in a capillary enter before they enter the cell?
Molecules traveling within the bloodstream pass through the capillary cell wall via osmotic pressure and diffuse through the interstitial fluid before encountering the tissue cell wall.
What selects which molecules enter the cell?
The cell membrane selectively allows molecules to enter the cell through various processes such as passive diffusion, active transport, and facilitated diffusion. Selective permeability is maintained by membrane proteins that act as channels, carriers, or pumps to regulate the passage of specific molecules based on size, charge, and concentration gradients.

How do fatty acid molecules differ from amino acid molecule?
amino acid molecules are water soluble meaning they cannot enter the cell. Fatty acid molecules CAN enter the cell.
How does a cell allow small molecules enter and exit?
"The cell membrane has openings in it." (PLATO) (:
What cell organelle has pores that allow certain molecules to leave and enter it?
Cell membrane

As the concentration of molecules outside a cell increases more molecules will enter the cell?
Yes, this process is known as osmosis. Water moves from an area of low solute concentration (outside the cell) to an area of high solute concentration (inside the cell) to balance the concentration levels. This causes more molecules to enter the cell as the concentration difference increases.
Which substance may enter a cell membrane by simple diffusion?
Water, certain ions, air and glucose molecules.
What is it called when part of a cell membrane closes around a molecule to allow the molecules to enter the cell?
Endocytosis
What is the function of a cell selectively cells?
It allows some molecules to enter the cell and blocks entry to others
