What The permeability of a cell membrane depends on the ability of a molecule to diffuse across that membrane. Usually only molecules that are fat-soluble can permeate a cell membrane because?

Most of the bilayer is hydrophobic; therefore water or water-soluble molecules do not pass through easily. Usually only fat soluble are allowed through.A cell controls what moves through the membrane by means of membrane proteins embedded in the phospholipid bilayer Some membrane proteins have carbohydrates attached to them, forming glycoproteins that act as identification markers.
