Question
Can these molecules cross into a cell? If yes, with what transport type?
- Molecule 1 is HUGE protein with an external concentration of 10mM and an internal concentration of 10μM.
- Molecule 2 is water with an extracellular concentration of 45% water and an intracellular concentration of 95% water
Expert Solution
Step 1
The transportation of molecules in and out of the cell depends on there concentration gradient and chemical properties. The plasma membrane of the cell act as a selective barrier that regulates the entry and exit of different molecules in and out of the cell. Different membrane proteins are also helps in this process.
