What is the process by which large molecules enter a cell through pouches in the membrane?
The process by which large molecules enter a cell through pouches in the membrane is called endocytosis. During endocytosis, the cell membrane forms a pouch around the molecule, encloses it, and brings it into the cell as a vesicle. This allows the cell to take in larger molecules that would not be able to pass through the membrane on their own.
Describe the conditions needed for molecules to enter a cell passively?
Molecules can enter a cell passively through processes like simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion. For this to occur, the molecule must be small, nonpolar, and/or able to pass through ion channels or carrier proteins. Additionally, there must be a concentration gradient across the cell membrane to drive the movement of molecules into the cell.
What type of molecules cannot enter the cell?
polar molecules are repelled by the cells electrical charge.
Large molecules are surrounded by the cell membrane and enter the cell?
Large molecules can enter cells through processes like endocytosis, where the cell membrane surrounds the molecule and engulfs it in a vesicle. This allows large molecules to be transported into the cell without crossing the lipid bilayer of the membrane.
What must the molecules in a capillary enter before they enter the cell?
Molecules traveling within the bloodstream pass through the capillary cell wall via osmotic pressure and diffuse through the interstitial fluid before encountering the tissue cell wall.

How do fatty acid molecules differ from amino acid molecule?
amino acid molecules are water soluble meaning they cannot enter the cell. Fatty acid molecules CAN enter the cell.

How does a cell allow small molecules enter and exit?
"The cell membrane has openings in it." (PLATO) (:
What cell organelle has pores that allow certain molecules to leave and enter it?
Cell membrane
Dye injected into a plant cell might be able to enter an adjacent cell through a?
Plasmodesmata, which are channels that connect plant cells, allow for communication and transport of molecules between adjacent cells. Dye injected into a plant cell can pass through plasmodesmata to enter an adjacent cell.

What selects which molecules enter the cell?
The cell membrane selectively allows molecules to enter the cell through various processes such as passive diffusion, active transport, and facilitated diffusion. Selective permeability is maintained by membrane proteins that act as channels, carriers, or pumps to regulate the passage of specific molecules based on size, charge, and concentration gradients.
As the concentration of molecules outside a cell increases more molecules will enter the cell?
Yes, this process is known as osmosis. Water moves from an area of low solute concentration (outside the cell) to an area of high solute concentration (inside the cell) to balance the concentration levels. This causes more molecules to enter the cell as the concentration difference increases.
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.
