Question

is diffusion the only way materials can enter the cell

Answer 1

not only through difussion by endocytosis also

Answer 2

so would it be no; the cell is capable of actively transporting materials across its membrane

Answer 3

diffusion is movement of water from higher concentration to lower concentration

Answer 4

not "water" but particles

Answer 5

Yeah. Other than diffusion, there is also active transport.

Answer 6

Active transport is when the cell expends energy to move particles against a concentration gradient.

Answer 7

Osmosis the diffusion of water across a membrane.

Answer 8

it is gradient concentration but when it comes to cell membrane we call it a special diffusion, an OSMOSIS

Answer 9

So the answer is no, other than diffusion there is also active transport.

Answer 10

smaller molecules can pass through cell membranes without aid or via active transport

Answer 11

active transport system are very specific that they require certain signals, which you will learn when you start taking cell biology

Answer 12

active transport is not concentration gradient.it requiere energy like ATP..
