Oxygen


Would fat particles more likely be brought into a cell then oxygen particles?

No, fat particles are too large to diffuse easily through the cell membrane. Oxygen particles, being smaller, can diffuse freely into cells for cellular respiration.


Which molecule would be unable to diffuse through a cell membrane?

A molecule that is too large or charged would be unable to diffuse through a cell membrane.

Oxygen (O2)


What substances easily diffuse a class of cell membrane?

Lipid-soluble substances, such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and small non-polar molecules, easily diffuse across the cell membrane. These substances can pass through the lipid bilayer of the membrane without the need for specific transport proteins.


Why do molecules easily diffuse across a cell membrane while glucose molecules do not?

Glucose is too big to pass throught.


What are 2 substances that diffuse freely across a cell membrane?

CO2, H2O, and O2 can all diffuse across a cell membrane. Also, small polar molecules (uncharged) and hydrocarbons easily diffuse across.


Are proteins too large to diffuse in cells?

Proteins are keep the cell going. They have many jobs to do one of which give the cell the energy to do what the cell is program to do in the body. So no proteins are not to large to diffuse in cells


What molecules would easily be able to diffuse through a cell membrane without the help of a transport protein?

Small, nonpolar molecules like oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water can easily diffuse through the cell membrane without the need for a transport protein. Their small size and lipophilic nature allow them to pass through the lipid bilayer of the membrane via simple diffusion.


What would happen if the stomata were smaller?

If the stomata were smaller then CO2 would diffuse into the cell less rapidly.
