Why can't ions pass through the cell membrane?

Ions cannot pass through the cell membrane because the membrane is selectively permeable, meaning it only allows certain substances to pass through. Ions have an electric charge that makes it difficult for them to pass through the hydrophobic interior of the membrane.


What do you call a cell membrane that allows certain molecules to pass through?

Definition of freely permeable membrane?

A freely permeable membrane allows all molecules or ions to pass through it without any hindrance. This means that there are no restrictions on the movement of substances across the membrane, and it is completely permeable to all solutes.


Using an example explain what is meant by a partially permeable membrane?

A partially permeable membrane is a barrier that allows only certain substances to pass through while blocking others based on their size or properties. For example, a cell membrane is partially permeable because it allows water and small molecules to pass through while blocking larger molecules like proteins.


Why can't charged molecules pass through the membrane?

Charged molecules cannot pass through the membrane because the membrane is selectively permeable, meaning it only allows certain substances to pass through based on their size and charge. The charged molecules are repelled by the hydrophobic interior of the membrane, which prevents them from crossing.
