Proteins cannot pass through the glomerular membrane primarily due to their size and charge. The glomerular filtration barrier consists of fenestrated endothelial cells, a basement membrane, and podocytes, which collectively create a selective barrier. Proteins, being large macromolecules, exceed the size threshold for filtration, and their negative charge further hinders their passage through the negatively charged basement membrane. This selectivity is crucial for maintaining protein levels in the blood and preventing proteinuria.
It acts as a facilitator to allow water-soluble subtances to pass through the cell membrane
PROTEIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Small non-polar molecules may pass through a a semipermeable membrane but others require a protein channel.
No, phenolphthalein cannot pass through a cell membrane on its own. It requires a carrier protein or a specific transport mechanism to facilitate its entry into a cell.
Large molecules such as proteins, blood cells, and platelets are normally unable to pass through the glomerular walls due to their size. Additionally, negatively charged particles like albumin are also restricted from passing through as they are repelled by the negatively charged basement membrane of the glomerulus.

Facilitated diffusion occurs through a protein channel by allowing specific molecules to pass through the cell membrane with the help of a protein channel. The protein channel acts as a tunnel that facilitates the movement of molecules that are too large or polar to pass through the membrane on their own. The molecules bind to the protein channel, which changes shape to allow them to pass through, ultimately helping them move across the membrane.

PROTEIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A protein that forms an ion channel through a membrane is most likely to be a transmembrane protein. Transmembrane proteins span the lipid bilayer, allowing them to create channels for ions to pass through the membrane. Peripheral proteins are typically found on the surface of the membrane and do not form channels.
Albumin is the single most abundant blood protein and is very important in maintaining the osmotic pressure of the blood. Besides that Albumin like othere blood proteins is to large to pass through the glomerular filtration membrane.
