Material can only cross the membrane via a protein. The membrane will allow any substance to cross it if the concentration of solute is high enough on one side of the membrane. The hydrophilic core of a membrane will only allow hydrophilic (i.e., polar) substances to cross without a membra protein. The membrane will allow any substance to cross it as long as it moves from a high concentration to a low concentration. The hydrophobic core of a membrane will only allow hydrophobic (i.e., non-polar) substances to cross without a membrane protein.arrow_forwardQuestion 6: The structural diagram of one of the twenty amino acids is given below.
