Document Summary

Some molecuels are able to diffuse across the membrane and for those who can"t there are specific types of transport proteins carry out passive transport (no nrg) and some carry out active protein (require energy) Hydrophobic molecules can diffuse across membranes easily because they can easily interact with the lipid tails within the bilayer: ex: oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and benzene. Small uncharged polar molecules are also allowed to pass through the bilayer but they move through at a lower rate. It"s the concentration gradient that determines whether or not the molecule will move through the cell. Hydrophobic and the nonpolar the molecule is the faster it moves through the bilayer that"s b/c the hydrophobic ones can interact well with the lipid tails whereas the polar hydrophilic ones can"t. Larger polar molecules even uncharged one"s like glucose and sucrose ( and does at extremely extremely slow rate) Also doesn"t allow the movement of ions across through simple diffusion.
