What effect will increasing the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids in the bilayer have on the membrane's permeability to glucose?
A. Permeability to glucose will stay the same.
B. Permeability to glucose will increase.
C. Permeability will decrease initially then increase as the bilayer fills with glucose.
D. Permeability to glucose will decrease

Answer

The correct answer is option B

B. Permeability to glucose will increase.

Explanation:

A phospholipid bilayer is a thin polar membrane comprising two lipid molecules. It regulates the diffusion of ions and proteins and is impermeable to most water molecules. A balances amount of saturated and unsaturated phospholipid regulates the permeability of glucose, allowing only a specific amount to pass through but when there's more unsaturation, permeability increases.

Movement of the particles across the membrane stops when the concentration gradient no longer exists, the particles will continu
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Once the concentration gradient no longer exists, particles will continue to diffuse due to random motion.

Explanation:

When there is a permeable membrane between two solutions with different concentrations, the concentration gradient will go from the compartment with more particles to the one with fewer particles to valance the concentrations on both sides of the membrane. Once the concentrations are equal, particles will still randomly move from one side to the other, but the number of particles that move to one side is almost the same as the number of particles that move to the other, so there is still valance and the same concentration in both sides.
