Best Answer

large molecules and charged molecules move across a cell membrane through "facilitated diffusion." That is to say, a transport protein in the plasma membrane of the cell is used (with the aid of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP) to move the substance from one side of the membrane to the other.

This method is actually the basis upon which all cell function is based, from generating and using energy, to keeping the cell isotonic to its environment.

How do the proteins help move glucose and amino acid across the cell membranes?
