CO2 is a relatively small non-polar molecule that can easily fit through the phospholipids in the plasma membrane without getting repelled by the hydrophobic core of the bilayer. Hence CO2 diffuses across the membrane without the aid of any intrinsic proteins (simple diffusion).
Amino acids however are large molecules that cannot fit through phospholipids in the bilayer. Hence, amino acids are most likely to diffuse across the cell plasma membrane with the help of channel and carrier proteins via facilitated diffusion.
You'll be able to make contrast and compare by reading both of them.
How do heterotrophs get energy from the sun
Answer:
Common examples include carbon, sulfur, oxygen, iron, copper, aluminium. Elements are represented by symbols. Compounds are substances made from atoms of different elements joined by chemical bonds. They can only be separated by a chemical reaction.
Explanation:
Substances can be categorised as either elements or compounds. Both of these are made up of atoms, the only difference is an element is made of one type of atom whereas compounds are made of two or more different types of atoms.
