Summary Introduction
To review:
The three major factors which determine whether a substance diffuses across a plasma membrane.
Introduction:
The plasma membrane is the outermost layer that covers the cell. The plasma membrane is made up of steroids, lipid bilayer, proteins, phospholipids, and carbohydrates. It performs several functions in the cell. The complex composition of plasma membrane makes is selectively permeable to molecules.
