Small nonpolar molecules, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, can easily pass in and out of the cell through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane. Water, although polar, can also move across the membrane relatively easily via specialized channels called aquaporins. Larger or charged molecules typically require specific transport proteins to facilitate their movement across the membrane.

What are bacteria and archaea most easily distinguished by from each other?

Bacteria and archaea can be most easily distinguished by differences in their cell wall composition. Bacteria have cell walls made of peptidoglycan, while archaea do not contain peptidoglycan in their cell walls. Additionally, they have differences in membrane lipid structure and genetic makeup.


What kinds of molecules pass through a cell membrane most easily?

Small and nonpolar molecules such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and ethanol pass through a cell membrane most easily, as they can diffuse across the lipid bilayer without the need for transport proteins.
