Ethanol, the active ingredient in alcoholic beverages, is a small, polar, charged molecule. How does this substance enter the cell?   Select the best answer Question options:   Ethanol is soluble in the membrane, so it can diffuse into the cell.   Ethanol is soluble in the membrane, so it moves through a channel protein.   Ethanol is insoluble in the membrane, so it is brought in by endocytosis.   Ethanol is insoluble in the membrane, so it is actively pumped into the cell.   Ethanol is insoluble in the membrane, so it moves through a channel protein.

Osmosis

In simple words, osmosis is the slow, gradual movement of a liquid through a membrane. But there are nuances to this process. For instance, there has to be an imbalance in the distribution of solute in the liquid on either side of the membrane, which has to be semipermeable. The liquid in the region with a lower solute concentration moves to the region with a higher concentration, thereby displacing the solution in the process. The objective is to equalize the concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane; the displacement of liquid can be viewed as a byproduct of this equalization. Since there is no energy required to carry osmosis, it is considered a passive process.
