Selective permeable

What Controls what moves in and out of the cell?
Cell membrane
What structure controls the passage of substances into and out of the cell?
cell membrane
What organelle moves substances across the cell in one direction?
The plasma membrane surrounding animal cells is where the exchange of substances inside and outside of cells takes place. Some substances need to move from the extracellular fluid outside cells to the inside of the cell, and some substances need to move from the inside of the cell to the extracellular fluid.Some of the proteins that are stuck in the plasma membrane help to form openings (channels) in the membrane. Through these channels, some substances such as hormones or ions are allowed to pass through. They either are "recognized" by a receptor (a protein molecule) within the cell membrane, or they attach to a carrier molecule, which is allowed through the channels. Because the plasma membrane is choosy about what substances can pass through it, it is said to be selectively permeable.
What controls the exit and entrance of substances in cells?
The exit and entrance of substances in cells are primarily controlled by the cell membrane, which is composed of a phospholipid bilayer and embedded proteins. This selective permeability allows certain molecules to pass through while blocking others, often facilitated by transport proteins that can either actively pump substances in or out or allow passive diffusion. Additionally, cellular mechanisms like endocytosis and exocytosis enable larger molecules or particles to be transported across the membrane. Overall, these processes ensure that cells maintain homeostasis by regulating their internal environment.
Which cell structure or organelle is responsible for regulating movement into and out of a cell?
The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, is responsible for regulating the movement of substances into and out of the cell. It acts as a selective barrier, allowing some molecules to pass through while blocking others.
What Controls what moves in and out of the cell?
Cell membrane
What structure controls the passage of substances into and out of the cell?
cell membrane
What drives the diffusion of substances across a membrane?
The diffusion of substances across a membrane is driven by the concentration gradient, which is the difference in concentration of a substance on either side of the membrane. Substances naturally move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration in order to reach equilibrium.
When there are different amount of substances on either side of cell membrane a gradient results?
osmosis
When there are different amounts of a substance on either side of the cell membrane is a what gradient results?
When there are different amounts of a substance on either side of the cell membrane the gradient result is called the concentration gradient. The permeability of the cell membrane will determine which substances can easily pass through the cell causing a change to the concentration gradient.

What is a characteristic of all chemical changes?
A resulting new product with different properties, either physical, chemical or both. A chemical change can only be reversed by anoither chemical change.
What do the membrane proteins do?
They do several things, depending on what they are designed for. The plasma membrane is made up of proteins which are semi-permeable to the outside and hold the cytoplasm within the cell and help to either prevent or allow diffusion of various substances into or out of the cell. They may also form receptor sites along the membrane for the attachment of enzymes which facilitate diffusion of certain substances.
What is the role of the cell membrane in moving substance in and out of the cell?
The cell membrane is considered to be semipermeable. This means that it will let some substances through (either in or out), but others it won't. The cell membrane is considered to be 3 layers (lipid, protein, lipid) Certain proteins will help substances into the cell, but some they won't let in. Generally, smaller molecules (oxygen, water, CO2, etc.) will pass through easier than larger molecules (glucose, other sugars). Basically, the cell membrane determines what substances are allowed to pass it/out of the cell.
What cell membrane allows you to move in and out of a cell?
its is a permeable membrane which allows osmosis and diffusion of small molecules such as glucose, salts and mineral ions. In an animal cell, it cannot hold the cell turgid like plant cells can, and so it bursts when too much water has entered it. This is osmotic shock
What controls which substances go in and out of cells?
Molecules in the cell membrane (plasma membrane) control which substances move or out of a cell.Phospholipids form a barrier to most compounds. To move through the phospholipid bilayer, molecules must be small and uncharged; examples are water, dissolved oxygen, and carbon dioxide. These move through the bilayer by diffusion(osmosis in the case of water).Other compounds must pass through proteins embedded in the phospholipid bilayer.Channel proteins allow the passage of molecules that are small enough and are not repelled by any charge around the pore (channel) of the protein. The movement of substances through channel proteins is called facilitated diffusion, being facilitated by the protein.Carrier proteins are highly selective, and move substances either by facilitated diffusion or by active transport, which requires energy. This energy may be supplied by the hydrolysis of ATP.
