Answer:

-Selective permeable nature.

Explanation:

Plasma membrane allow transfer of certain molecules across it due to its selectively permeable nature. Due to this, only certain molecules or substances (which are are allowed to enter or exit the cells.

Selective permeable nature of plasma membrane is important for cells as it helps in maintaining cellular health, balanced level of fluids and electrolytes, and homeostasis.

Thus, the feature of a plasma membrane that describes whether substances can cross the membrane or not is its selective permeable nature.

8-4 Discounting the Transverse Carrier Model. At one time, membrane biologists thought that transport proteins might act by bind
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The two main reasons are nonpolar core of the bilayer and the active transport.

Explanation:

The membrane is structured to have two outer layers that are polar and an inner layer that is nonpolar.

If a membrane protein is exposed to the solvent, i<em>t will also have a polar side. It would be very difficult for the polar face of the membrane to move through the nonpolar core of the bilayer.</em> Therefore, this model is not feasible.

One major form of transport, active transport, moves solutes up the concentration gradient. <em>The binding of a solute and then release on another side of the membrane would only work for facilitated diffusion because it would cause a net movement of solutes down the concentration gradient.</em> It is unclear how energy could be expended to drive this process in the transverse carrier model.<em> Therefore, the transverse carrier model does not explain active transport.</em>
