What makes something hydrophobic/hydrophilic? Which type cannot easily pass through the cell? Why
If a tiny hole is made in a cell membrane, it usually closes over immediately. What feature of the cell membrane allows this to happen so quickly? Describe in terms of composition.
The plasma membrane has a hydrophobic interior due to the two present in each phospholipid found in the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. The plasma membrane allows some molecules to cross but not all. Therefore, the plasma membrane is said to be Molecules that are nonpolar and hydrophobic will cross the membrane with ease by Does this process require energy? When molecules move across the plasma membrane by passive transport, they will move down or with the_ from an area of concentration to an area of. concentration. Polar, hydrophilic molecules and charged ions will move across the plasma membrane by the process of_ This does not require energy, but it does require a A special case of diffusion is known as which is the movement of water across the plasma membrane.
