Shyanne Cherry · Answer 1

False

Explanation:

IF this were true this would jeopardize internal environment of our cells, similar to how not every key opens a key lock, not every molecule has the "key" to enter the intracellular and extracellular fluids through a phospholipid bilayer. Usually small hydrophobic ("water-hating") can pass through the intracellular and extracellular fluids through a phospholipid bilayer.
