What determines the direction of net movement across a cellmembrane?

The direction of net movement across a cell membrane is determined by the concentration gradient of a substance, with molecules moving from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Additionally, the permeability of the membrane to the specific molecules also influences their movement. External factors such as temperature and pressure can also impact the direction of movement across the membrane.


What is the transport of water across the cell membrane called?

Movement of water across a membrane is called OSMOSIS.


The net direction that an ion or molecule moves is?

determined by the concentration gradient and electrical gradient across the membrane. If the net movement of ions or molecules is down their concentration gradient and towards the opposite electrical charge, they will move across the membrane.


What is the equilibrium of solute across a membrane?

The equilibrium of solute across a membrane is reached when the concentration of the solute is the same on both sides of the membrane. This means that the movement of the solute molecules is balanced, with an equal number of molecules moving in and out of the membrane. At equilibrium, there is no net movement of solute across the membrane.


What membrane components allow movement of non-polar substances across membrane?

Integral proteins allow movement of non-polar substances across membranes.


Does facilitated diffusion require energy for the movement of molecules across the cell membrane?

No, facilitated diffusion does not require energy for the movement of molecules across the cell membrane.


Does passive transport require ATP for the movement of molecules across the cell membrane?

No, passive transport does not require ATP for the movement of molecules across the cell membrane.


What is the name for the movement of water across the plasma membrane?

The movement of water across the plasma membrane is called osmosis. It occurs in response to concentration differences of solutes on either side of the membrane.


What is the cause of resistance and how the resistance and how the resistance of a wire can be determined?

Electrical resistance can be determined by the equation that defines resistance - Ohm's Law. Just divide the voltage across a resistor, by the current passing through it.


In an isotonic environment would there be an equal movement of water across the cell membrane?

There would be no net movement of water across the membrane because the amount of solute inside and outside of the membrane is equal.


The movement of water across a membrane is trem?

The movement of water across a membrane is termed osmosis. This process involves the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a selectively permeable membrane, such as a cell membrane. Osmosis plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of water and solutes within living organisms.
