Answer: Directly through the phospholipid membrane

Explanation:

The cell membrane consist of a phospholipid bilayers structure. In the interior of the membrane, the phospholipid tail are hydrophobic, which makes the cell membrane to be selectively permeable, it is permeable to non polar molecules and impermeable to polar molecules.

Because Steroids are fat soluble, non polar compounds, they can diffuse directly through the hydrophobic, non polar core of the phospholipid bilayer without the use of carrier proteins.

Be sure to answer all parts. A concentration cell consists of two Sn/Sn2+ half-cells. The electrolyte in compartment A is 0.23 M
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Part A. The half-cell B is the cathode and the half-cell A is the anode

Part B. 0.017V

Explanation:

Part A

The electrons must go from the anode to the cathode. At the anode oxidation takes place, and at the cathode a reduction, so the flow of electrons must go from the less concentrated solution to the most one (at oxidation the concentration intends to increase, and at the reduction, the concentration intends to decrease).

So, the half-cell B is the cathode and the half-cell A is the anode.

Part B

By the Nersnt equation:

E°cell = E° - (0.0592/n)*log[anode]/[cathode]

Where n is the number of electrons being changed in the reaction, in this case, n = 2 (Sn goes from S⁺²). Because the half-reactions are the same, the reduction potential of the anode is equal to the cathode, and E° = 0 V.

E°cell = 0 - (0.0592/2)*log(0.23/0.87)

E°cell = 0.017V
