When a substance wants to enter a cell it goes through the cell membrane in a process called endocytosis.

What do cell membranes allow?

Cell membranes allow the regulation of what enters and exits the cell, maintaining cell homeostasis. They also provide structural support and separate the cell's internal environment from the external environment. Additionally, cell membranes facilitate cell communication and recognition.


Where an enzyme and substance meet or connect?

Membrane Proteins, or transport site, these sites act as transporters, enzymes, cell surface receptors and cell surface identity markers, as well as aiding in cell-to-cell adhesion and securing the cytoskeleton.


What forms of vesicular transport processes are used by flu viruses diphtheria and cholera toxins to enter your cells?

Flu viruses enter cells through endocytosis, a process where the cell engulfs the virus in a vesicle formed from the cell membrane. Diphtheria toxin enters cells through receptor-mediated endocytosis, where the toxin binds to a cell surface receptor and is internalized. Cholera toxin is taken up by clathrin-dependent endocytosis, where the toxin binds to a receptor on the cell surface and is internalized in clathrin-coated vesicles.


Cell membranes usually allow what substances to enter a cell?

Cell membranes usually allow water, gases (such as oxygen and carbon dioxide), and small uncharged molecules to enter a cell. Larger molecules or charged ions may require specific transport proteins or channels to cross the membrane.


What is it called when a part of a cell membrane closes around a molecule to allow the molecule to enter the cell?

This is called endocytosis.
