Question
Chapter 37.2, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To explain:
Whether diffusion eliminates the concentration gradient of a dye which has a net charge. Refer to Figure 5.9 “The diffusion of solutes across a syntheticmembrane” in the textbook.
Introduction:
Diffusion is the movement of a solute across a semi-permeable membrane “down its concentration gradient” (from higher concentration to lower concentration).

Q4: Describe the structure of plasma membrane. Suggest the mechanism(s) by which each of the following substances is transported across cell membranes: a. CO2 b. Glucose c. C1– d. K+ e. Fat molecules
WHAT IF? As a cell begins the process of dividing, itschromosomes become shorter, thicker, and individuallyvisible in an LM (light micrograph). Explain what is happening at the molecular level.
WHAT IF? Some membrane proteins diffuse faster in the plasma membrane when the cytoskeleton or the extracellular matrix is artificially removed than when cells are unperturbed. Explain why.
