How do polar molecules pass through the cell membrane
Asked by maham237 @ in Biology viewed by 285 People
Why do non polar molecules diffuse more rapidly through membranes than polar molecules?
Answered by maham237 @
Nonpolar molecules diffuse through the lipid portions of membranes much more rapidly than do polar or ionized molecules because nonpolar molecules can dissolve in the nonpolar lipids in the membrane. Mineral ions diffuse across membranes by passing through ion channels formed by integral membrane proteins
