Question

What part of the cell do the particles have to move through in order to get from one side to the other?

Answer 1

Answer: The Cell Membrane

Explanation:

Only when they cross the bilayer are they able to move molecules and ions in and out of the cell. The membrane proteins are very specific. One protein that moves glucose will not move calcium (Ca) ions. There are hundreds of types of these
