Question

Name and describe 3 ways objects can travel across a membrane. Include what types of objects (H2O, sugar, ect) are moving across the membrane for each way.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Osmosis - water

Ions - diffusion

Large proteins - endocytosis

Explanation:

Ions and small molecules can cross the cell membrane by simple diffusion, where they move from a high concentration to a low concentration, down a concentration gradient.

Osmosis is the process whereby water travels across a semi-permeable membrane from a high concentration to a low concentration.

Larger cargo can cross the membrane through a process called endocytosis, where the membrane engulfs the particles and brings them inside the cell, encased in a vesicle.
