Charged particles move across membranes through the process of facilitated diffusion or active transport. Facilitated diffusion involves the movement of particles through protein channels, while active transport requires energy to move particles against their concentration gradient.
What else can I help you with?
How charged particles like Na and K move across membranes?
Charged particles like Na+ and K+ move across membranes through specialized proteins called ion channels. These channels provide a selective pathway for the ions to pass through the membrane, driven by their electrochemical gradients. This movement helps establish and maintain the electrical potential difference across the cell membrane, which is essential for various cellular processes such as nerve signaling and muscle contraction.
Is it from high concentration to low that particles move across a membrane move?
Yes. It is called Osmosis. Particles move across the membrane in order to balance the concentration of particles on both sides of the membrane. Since the membrane tends to block the larger particles, its the smaller molecules that move, so what happens across membranes is that the motion (of say water) is from low concentration toward higher - but the result is to even the concentration on both sides of the membrane, Pure diffusion is always from higher concentration to lower.
How does charge affect diffusion?
A concentration gradient is a difference in concentration across a space. It affects diffusion and osmosis because both of these passive transports move down their concentration gradients, or from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
How do ions diffuse across cell membranes?
Ions diffuse across cell membranes through protein channels or transporters that allow them to move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. This process is known as passive transport and does not require energy from the cell.
How do aquaporins facilitate the movement of water across cell membranes?
Aquaporins are specialized proteins that act as channels in cell membranes, allowing water molecules to pass through. These proteins create a pathway for water to move across the membrane, enabling efficient and rapid transport of water into and out of cells.
How charged particles like na and k move scross membranes?
They are pumped actively.
How do charged particles such as Na and K move across membranes?
Through channels in the bilipid layer. The channels use ATP to pump molecules against the ion gradient.
How charged particles like Na and K move across membranes?

Can all particles move across the cell membrane?
no, membranes are selectively permeable, letting somethings in and not others
What is the energy that causes charged particles to move is called?
The energy that causes charged particles to move is called electrical energy. This energy is a result of the movement of electrons in a conductor due to a voltage or potential difference applied across the material.
What are the charged particles that move when a liquid conducts electricity?
In a liquid, the charged particles that move when conducting electricity are ions. Ions are atoms or molecules that have gained or lost electrons, leading to a net positive or negative charge. When a voltage is applied across a liquid, these charged particles move towards the oppositely charged electrodes, carrying the electric current.
How fluids move across capillary membranes?
Osmosis.
What type of particles can diffuse?
Gas and liquid particles can diffuse because they are free to move around unlike solid particles that can only vibrate on the spot but cannot move from place to place.(Hope I have answered your question :P )
How charged partiles like Na and K move across membranes?
Through Sodium-Potassium Pump Proteins. They are the key to a successful action potential, and eventually an impulse
Which particles in an atom move when charged?
Electrons
What are charged particles that move in liquids to create electric current called?
Charged particles that move in liquids to create electric current are called ions.
What passive process that move substances across membranes?
Diffusion ,osmosis
