a. Suppose that a membrane consists of two types of lipids, A and B. The A lipids assemble in large patches that make up a fraction fof the total membrane area (the rest of the area is composed of B lipids). Molecule X has a permeability Pa and Pg through A and B, respectively. Find an expression for the permeability Pa3 of the composite membrane.
