How do neutral solutes move across the plasma membrane? Can the polar molecules also move across it in the same way? If not, then how are these transported across the membrane? |
|
Answer» Neutral solutes move across the plasma membrane through passive transport, i.e. by diffusion and osmosis. But polar molecules need a carrier protein of the membrane to be transported across against concentration gradient. This type of transport is dependent on energy and is called active transport. |
