Gases that can easily pass through biological membranes include oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2). These small, nonpolar molecules can diffuse across the lipid bilayer of cell membranes without the need for transport proteins. Additionally, nitrogen (N2) can also diffuse readily due to its nonpolar nature. In general, nonpolar gases and small molecules tend to have the highest permeability through membranes.
What else can I help you with?
What materials go in and out of an organism's cells through?
The cells go through the cell's membrane
Why do passenger molecules need to be helped by the carrier protein?
Some molecules can't go through the cell membrane.
What can go in and out of the cell most easily?
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.
Can a protein go through the cell membrane?
Glycogen has a had time passing through a cell membrane in comparison to water.
Where does oxygen go after it passes through the the cell membrane?
The Mitochondria
What type of molecules can easily go through your cell membrane or are permeable to the cell membrane?
Substances with a hydrophillic-lipophillic balance are permeable through the cell membrane.
What types of molecules can easily go through your cell membrane are permeable to the cell membrane?
Substances with a hydrophillic-lipophillic balance are permeable through the cell membrane.
What kind of molecules can easily pass through a cell membrane?
Small, Non-polar molecules. If the molecule is polar, it sticks to both sides of the membrane, and has to go through selective routes. The easiest to get through is the Non-polar (oxygen and carbon).

How can water go through the cell membrane when it is polar?
Because it is a small molecule, water can diffuse through the cell membrane.
What does osmosis go through?
partially permiable membrane
If the cell membrane is selectively permeable What properties would non penetrating substances have?
non penetrating substances may have molecules too large to go through a membrane or are chemically repelled by the membrane so it can't go through.
Where does oxygen go after it passes through the the cell membrane?
The Mitochondria
Are x-ray waves easily blocked or can they pass through objects?
They can easily go through objects
