Answer:

Passive transport involves movement of substances from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration.

Explanation:

Passive transport involves the passage of substances through a semi-permeable membrane, as occurs with transport at the level of cell membranes.

Generally, passive transport occurs with the movement of compounds from the space with the highest concentration of a specific substance to the space with the lowest concentration of the same substance, following the so-called concentration gradient. Theoretically, the gradient tends to disappear when the concentrations of substances have balanced out.

Regarding other options:

A. From areas of lower concentration to areas of higher concentration. It is a feature of active transport.

C. From areas in which the concentration has reached a balance. There is no passive transport

D. From areas of differing concentrations with the use of cellular energy. Energy use involves active transport.

Which of the following statements about a typical plasma membrane is correct?a. Phospholipids are the primary component that det

nordsb [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

The fatty acid tails of phospholipids are hydrophobic – meaning they are ‘water-hating’. This is why they are in the middle of the bi-lipid layer of the cell membrane 'hiding' from the 'watery' environment of a cell. This poses a challenge in the diffusion of large and charged molecules across the membrane -such as sodium ions. Such molecules need transmembrane protein channels to help them cross the membrane. These are called integral proteins because they are part and parcel of the cell membrane. The cell membrane, in addition, also has glycolipids and glycoproteins on its surface that are significant in the identification of the cell by other cells.
