Things like oxygen, CO2 and lipids cross the membrane with simple diffusion. Water can cross the membrane with osmosis when the water moves through a channel protein in the plasma membrane. Glucose, potassium, sodium etc. moves through a carrier protein in the membrane with the process of active movement. In the process of active movement energy is needed and it is given by the glucose or ATP from the cell.

How does nutrients enter a cell?
The plasma membrane.
What is pore protein?
integral protein that embedded to the plasma membrane. Allow small substances to cross the plasma membrane.
What depends on a molecule that can cross the plasma membrane?
The Gonhiqule depends on a molecule and cross the plasma membrane in an animal cell, but is a different story for the plant cell because of the cell wall.
How does nitric oxide cross the plasma membrane?
Simple Diffusion
What is the function of the cell membrane and the plasma membrane?
Cell membrane is also known as plasma membrane. Controls exchange of materials such as nutrients and waste between cells and their environment. Has other important functions for example to enable cells to receive hormones.
How does nutrients enter a cell?

Gh
Where do nutrients enter cells?

How do glucose molecules cross a plasma membrane?
Facilitated Diffusion
How does nitric oxide cross the plasma membrane?

Ions cannot cross back and forth across the neuron cell membrane?
Water diffuses across the plasma membrane, and this can affect cell size and .... proceeds, the different type cells of the embryo develop their ... or ion so that it can cross the plasma .... molecules cannot cross the membrane because they are un- able to ... plasma membrane and the back and forth arrows indicate that these.
What are the compounds find it difficult to cross the plasma membrane?
lipid and protien
Does the plasma membrane of a living cell form an impenetrable barrier between the internal millieu and the environment?
No, the plasma membrane is a selectively permeable barrier that regulates the flow of most molecules across the membrane. The plasma membrane allows waste products to exit the cell and nutrients to enter the cell.
What is the function of the cell membrane and the plasma membrane?
Cell membrane is also known as plasma membrane. Controls exchange of materials such as nutrients and waste between cells and their environment. Has other important functions for example to enable cells to receive hormones.
