Question

Give two examples of phospholipid soluble molecules? How can these molecules move across the cell membrane? What affects the direction of their movement

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Only small uncharged molecules can diffuse freely through phospholipid bilayers (Figure 2.49). Small nonpolar molecules, such as O2 and CO2, are soluble in the lipid bilayer and therefore can readily cross cell membranes. 2. Diffusion through a permeable membrane moves a substance from an area of high concentration (extracellular fluid, in this case) down its concentration gradient (into the cytoplasm). 3. Objects change their motion because unbalanced forces act on them. There are four main factors that affect the motion of objects. These factors are force, friction, inertia, and momentum.
