Chapter 6, Problem 35RA

Summary Introduction

To review:

The osmosis and its direction in the given solutions.

Introduction:

The molecules are transported across the cell membrane which is semi permeable in nature. Some molecules are transported by simple diffusion without the utilization of energy through the concentration gradient, while some are transported by carrier proteins that are present in the membrane and they are specific in nature. Other molecules are transported by active transport mechanism that requires energy and this occurs against the concentration gradient.
