Permeability is not a property which applies to gases, which always allow substances to pass through them. It is a word we use for solids which have holes or cracks which allow liquid through.

Why can carbon dioxide move easily through a membrane?

Carbon dioxide is a relatively small molecule, and can diffuse through semi-permeable membranes easily, providing that it moves down a higher concentration gradient.


What is the membrane called if other substances besides water oxygen carbon dioxide and glucose are blocked from entering?

The membrane is selectively permeable if it only allows certain substances like water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and glucose to pass through while blocking others based on size, charge, or other properties.


Which ions are permeable to phospholipids that make up the plasma membrane?

Small, uncharged molecules like oxygen and carbon dioxide are permeable to phospholipids in the plasma membrane, while ions such as sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), and chloride (Cl-) are not permeable due to their charge.

Carbon is an element, but not carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a compound of carbon and oxygen.


How is the frog's skin adapted to the water?

A frog's skin is permeable, this means it lets water in and out. Frog skins also let oxygen pass in and carbon dioxide pass out.


What gas is produced by respiration?

Carbon dioxide is produced as a byproduct of cellular respiration in organisms, including humans and animals. During respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce energy, water, and carbon dioxide.


What gas is given off by cellular respiration?

Is chalk permeable?

Chalk is permeable, meaning it allows water and other substances to seep through its pores. This property makes chalk suitable for use in filtration processes and for storing carbon dioxide underground.
