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 else can I help you with?
What cellular organelle is a projection that moves substances along the surface of a cell?
cilia
What cellular organelle is a projection that moves substances onto epithelial surfaces?
Cilia are cellular projections that move substances along the surface of epithelial cells. They beat in a coordinated manner to propel mucus and other substances across the epithelial surface, aiding in functions such as mucus clearance in the respiratory tract.
What organelle transport things around the cell?
The endoplasmic reticulum moves substances through the cell within channels made of membranes. The cytoplasm also moves substances and organelles through cytoplasmic streaming
Is symport is active transport or passive transport?
Symport is a form of active transport. It involves the movement of two or more substances across a cell membrane in the same direction, using energy typically derived from the electrochemical gradient of one of the substances. This process requires energy input because it often moves substances against their concentration gradients.
What organelle moves information int the cell?
The cell membrane
What organelle moves its item across its surface?
The Cytoplasm moves things in a cell

What are the passive process that moves substances across membranes?
Diffusion ,osmosis
How does passive transport move substances across a cell membrane in the direction of their concentration gradient?
Passive transport moves substances across a cell membrane in the direction of their concentration gradient without requiring energy input from the cell. This process relies on the natural movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration, facilitated by protein channels or carriers in the cell membrane.
What is the name of the carrier type that moves two solutes such as glucose and sodium?
Symport or cotransporter is the carrier type that moves two solutes, such as glucose and sodium, simultaneously across a cell membrane in the same direction. This process allows for the coupling of the movement of two different substances.
How will the velocity of the book change as it moves across the surface with friction?
The velocity of the book will decrease as it moves across the surface with friction. Friction acts in the opposite direction of motion, slowing down the book.

It involves the movement of two or more substances across a cell membrane in the same direction, using energy typically derived from the electrochemical gradient of one of the substances. This process requires energy input because it often moves substances against their concentration gradients.
What moves marerials across the plasma membrane in the direction of the concentration?
Active transportation is the material that across plasma membrane. This makes it flow one way.
How does transverse waves move?
When you make a wave on a rope, the wave moves from one end of the rope to the other. But the rope itself moves up and down or from side to side, at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels. Waves that move the medium at right angles to the direction in which the waves travel are called transverse waves. Transverse means "across". As a transverse wave moves, the particles of the medium move across, or at right angle to, the direction of the wave.
Which organelle moves proteins throughout the cell?
Vesicles
