Source sentences:
text: The cell membrane functions like a gate, controlling which molecules can enter and leave the cell.
text: To control the amount of certain molecules that enter and exit the cell
text: Charged or polar molecules that cannot fit between the phospholipids generally enter and leave cells through facilitated diffusion.
text: Yes, it does restrict many molecules from entering (or leaving) the cell, but it is also designed so that some molecules can very quickly move through the membrane, and thus enter or leave the cell with ease.
text: In simple diffusion, small noncharged molecules or lipid soluble molecules pass between the phospholipids to enter or leave the cell, moving from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration (they move down their concentration gradient).

text: (i.e. the medium is a isotonic solution) there will exist a dynamic equilibrium between the number of molecules of water entering and leaving the cell and so the cell will retain its original size.

text: The resulting structure is termed a lipid bilayer which mediates molecules that enter or leave the cell.
text: This way, the membrane can control the rate at which certain molecules can enter and exit the cell.
text: The shape of the membrane itself changes to allow molecules to enter or exit the cell.
