lipids being insoluble in water are transported in the body in the form of lipoproteins. These lipoproteins transport lipids from the intestine and the liver to the locations where the are oxidized or to adipose tissues where they are stored.

Which molecules are often embedded within the lipid to help substances move through the membrane?

Cholesterol and proteins are often embedded within the lipid bilayer to help substances move through the membrane. Cholesterol helps to stabilize the membrane's fluidity, while proteins act as channels or carriers for molecules to pass through the membrane.


How do small polar molecules pass through the cell membrane?

Small polar molecules can pass through the cell membrane by using protein channels or carriers that facilitate their movement across the lipid bilayer. These channels and carriers help the molecules navigate through the hydrophobic interior of the membrane, allowing them to enter or exit the cell as needed.

Are protein carriers or channels involved for diffusion?

Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration and typically does not require protein carriers or channels. However, facilitated diffusion, a specific type of diffusion, does involve protein carriers or channels to help transport molecules, such as ions or larger polar molecules, across the cell membrane. These proteins assist in moving substances that cannot easily pass through the lipid bilayer due to their size or polarity.
