What molecules pass through the cell membrane by facilitated diffusion?Facilitated diffusion therefore allows polar and charged molecules, such as carbohydrates, amino acids, nucleosides, and ions, to cross the plasma membrane. Two classes of proteins that mediate facilitated diffusion are generally distinguished: carrier proteins and channel proteins.
Which of the following is most likely to move through the cell membrane by facilitated diffusion view available hint S?The molecule most likely to be involved in simple diffusion is water - it can easily pass through cell membranes.
Which is most likely involved in facilitated diffusion?A transport protein completely spans the membrane, and allows certain molecules or ions to diffuse across the membrane. Channel proteins, gated channel proteins, and carrier proteins are three types of transport proteins that are involved in facilitated diffusion.
Which molecule will cross a cell membrane most easily?Small nonpolar molecules, such as O2 and CO2, are soluble in the lipid bilayer and therefore can readily cross cell membranes. Small uncharged polar molecules, such as H2O, also can diffuse through membranes, but larger uncharged polar molecules, such as glucose, cannot.
