Best Answer

It does require a transport protein as it disassociates into charged ions and it is not lipid soluble. Only lipid soluble molecules diffuse freely through living membranes.

Why does nacl and urea and glucose diffuse?

nacl diffuse in plasma membrane because there are protein channels that allows certain ions to diffuse around the membrane, like sodium and chloride ions, please note that these channel proteins are selectively permeable meaning sodium channels only allow sodium to enter the cell and so on... urea diffuses into the pm the same way through facilitated diffusion of certain protein channels glucose diffuse into the pm as a part of secondary active transport, which means it uses ATP indirectly. it diffuses in the process called symport


Is salt an inorganinc molecule used during diffusion?

Salt (NaCl) is an inorganic compound.


Should NaCl have an effect on Glucose diffusion?

No, not really. Diffusion works when molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. They move independently of one another. So even if you have a high level of NaCl, the glucose concentration will diffuse in the same manner.


What happens when bacterial cell is placed in 5 NACL?

5% NaCl solution is unusually high. And because all living organisms seek to maintain an isotonic balance with their environment,osmotic diffusion will occur in order to re-establish this balance.Hence,there will be a diffusion down the gradient i.e. from the medium containing the NaCl solution,into the bacterial cell which has solutes dissolved in it but insufficient to even out this balance.The end result will then be lysis or bursting of the bacterial cell,as it gorges in the NaCl to maintain equilibrium.


What does NaCl do during protein extraction?

In solution, NaCl can split into Na+ and Cl- ions. These ions are indeed needed to stabilise the hydrophilic residues of the protein molecule that are exposed on the surface. So NaCl is a stabilising agent in various protocols even in the extraction, but it does not has any role in lysing the cells or neutralising other biomolecules.
