Match the definitions with the words: Direct Diffusion, Facilitated Transport, Active Transport a) passive movement of molecules through a protein channel, down the solute's concentration gradient b) using a vesicle to move many molecules into a cell c) movement of molecules through a protein transporter, requires ATP, against the solute's concentration gradient
(For this question my professor says that answer choice b) or d)is not correct. The correct choice is answer c). I just need help for the explantion as to why it is choice c. ) Question:The phospholipid composition of cell membranes causes the membranes to be impermeable to water molecules. However, Ca2+ and Mg+ and Cl- ions diffuse in and out of the cell because: a) Water is soluble in fatty acids found in phospholipids b) the Fatty Acid portion of the phospholipid component interacts with water c) the fatty acids are hydrophilic d) protein molecules embedded in the membrane function as H20 channels through the membrane, e) water is nonpolar.
