What kind of substances are likely to move via passive transport through phospholipod bilyer?
transport of materials through cell wall without energy.
What is most likely to occur if the sugar molecules cross the membrane?
Sugar molecules move outside of the membrane.
What substance is most likely to passively diffuse across the plasma membrane by dissolving in the membrane?
Lipid-soluble molecules such as O2 and CO2 diffuse freely through the plasma membrane.
What is mosly likely to occur if the sugar molecules can cross the membrane?
sugar molecules move outside of the membrane. novanet
What is this statement most likely referring to Small nonpolar molecules may pass through this structure but others require a protein channel?
Small non-polar molecules may pass through a a semipermeable membrane but others require a protein channel.
Water molecules diffuse through a selectively permeable membrane?
Water diffuses by facilitated diffusion, passing through water permeable protein channels embedded in the cell membrane. Water molecules can not pass through the lipid bilayer because water is polar. However, polar molecules pass though the cell membrane through the protein channels. The proteins that aid water in passing through the cell membrane are called aquaporins. "Aqua" for water, and "porin" for pore. A "water pore" in essence.
Where in the membrane does facilitated diffusion occur?
Diffusion will most likely to occur where there is a high concentration of gas or water then the particles distibute evenly to the area of low concentration. for example if you could smell a turkey cooking in the oven from upstairs without anyone telling you.
What is most likely to occur if the sugar molecules can cross the membranes?
Sugar molecules move outside of the membrane.
Which molecule is most likely to cause osmosis in the body?
The small molecules like those of water will most likely cause osmosis n the body. This will happen when water flow through the membrane.
What structure is this statement most likely referring to?
Small non-polar molecules may pass through a a semipermeable membrane but others require a protein channel.
Which structure is the statement below most likely referring to Small nonpolar molecules may pass through this structure but others require a protein channel.?
Small non-polar molecules may pass through a a semipermeable membrane but others require a protein channel.
What can you conclude about the cell membrane structure if liquid soluble molecules move across the membrane?
It can be concluded that if the liquid soluble molecules move more readily across the membrane then the membrane must be made of lipids. When two parts are made of similar material then they will be more likely to allow other particles like them to pass.
