What variable(s) influence(s) whether a nonpolar molecule can move across a membrane by passive diffusion? a. The structure of the phospholipids bilayer b. The difference in concentration of the molecule across the membrane c. The presence of transport proteins in the membrane d. All of the choices are correct.
For the following modes of transport for membranes, tell whether the flow is with or against chemical potenial. Meaning +deltaG or -deltag A. Passive Diffusion B.Faciliated Diffusion C.Active Transport
The process of “active transport" through a membrane may be described by which of the following? A. the movement of ions and small molecules away from regions where they are in high concentration. B. the use of energy from ATP to move ions and small molecules into regions where they are in lower concentration. C. the plasma membrane engulfs the substance and moves it through the membrane. D. the use of energy from ATP to move ions and small molecules against their concentration gradient.
