How do neutral solutes move across the plasma membrane

Asked by admin @ in Biology viewed by 262 People

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?

Answered by admin @


Natural solutes move across the plasma membrane due to their non-polar nature.Rate of movement depend upon the concentration gradient and solubility of solutes.
No polar molecules cannot do so and they require special carrier methods wgich are of different types i.e. ion transport mechanism ,Avtive transport etc
