A cell membrane that transports glucose, ions, or other charged or polar molecules is likely to have a higher percentage and gre
erica [24]

Answer: True

Explanation:

<u>A cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer made of polar phosphate head and a nonpolar lipid tail.</u> It is semipermeable and regulates the transport of materials through it. For this,<u> it is selectively permeable</u> and since it is made of lipids, hydrophobic and small polar molecules can diffuse easily through it by simple diffusion and down their concentration gradient. However, polar molecules, large molecules (such as glucose) and ions are not able to pass through it because they are repelled.

To accomplish the transport of these molecules that can not diffuse, proteins embebbed in the membrane function as carriers that enable the transport of polar molecules, large molecules and ions by passive (through facilitated diffusion, down its concentration gradient) or active transport (movement against its concentration gradient).

Explanation:

A diet having 90% carbohydrates support the same amount of protein in the human body as a diet that is only 15% carbohydrates because with the increase or decrease of carbohydrates in the diet does not increase the amount of protein. Protein and carbohydrates are two different things, proteins broken down into amino acid that is utilize by the body for making muscles while carbohydrates are broken down into glucose that is used by the body for performing daily activities.
