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.

Which substance used during photosynthesis does a plant take in from the soil?
Simora [160]

Answer:

the answer is water

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.
