Fat-soluble toxins are more rapidly taken in through diffusion than water soluble poisons due to their ability for passive transfer. Water soluble poisons do not have this ability.

What organic molecule in cell membranes that permits the diffusion of lipid-soluble materials?

Phospholipids are the organic molecules in cell membranes that permit the diffusion of lipid-soluble materials. They have a hydrophobic tail that repels water and a hydrophilic head that interacts with water, creating a bilayer structure that allows for the passage of lipid-soluble molecules.


How does the absorption of a water-soluble molecule differ from that of a fat-soluble molecule?

Water-soluble molecules are absorbed through passive diffusion or facilitated transport in the intestines, while fat-soluble molecules are absorbed with the help of bile salts and form micelles for absorption through simple diffusion in the small intestine. No specific transporters are needed for fat-soluble molecules due to their ability to pass through the cell membrane easily, unlike water-soluble molecules which require specific transporters for absorption.

Do lipid soluble molecules diffuse into a cell more rapidly than water soluble molecules?

Yes, lipid soluble molecules diffuse into a cell more rapidly than water soluble molecules. This is because the cell membrane is primarily made up of lipids, so lipid soluble molecules can easily pass through the lipid bilayer, while water soluble molecules need specific channels or transporters to facilitate their entry into the cell.


What influence cell diffusion?

Several factors influence cell diffusion. For example, the polarity of the molecule to be diffused and the size of the molecule. Both of these factors may determine whether or not diffusion will be passive or facilitated. The lipid bi-layer of the cell membrane favors lipid soluble molecules and will allow quick passive diffusion of these molecules. Water soluble molecules may need to diffuse through protein channels, lipid rafts phagocytosis or facilitated diffusion. Check Wikipedia for definitions of these processes.
