Question

Biological membranes are selectively permeable, allowing certain molecules to cross the membrane, but not others. Classify the molecules or ions depending on how they cross a biological membrane. Note that some of these examples may also utilize active transport to traverse a membrane. However, this question is limited to passive transport processes only. Match the followings with each others

a. Simple Diffusion
b. Facilitated Diffusion

1. steroid hormones
2. K+
3. N2
4. Glucose

Answer 1

Answer:

Following are the solution to these question:

Explanation:

Simple diffusion implies which molecules can move across a cell membrane instead of using the incorporated protein structure channels. Its flow of molecules across these canals is enabled by diffusion. It has steroid hormones and N2.

Facilitated diffusion of molecules via cell membranes, or active transportation, which would be the random mass transit process of molecules or ions via unique cellular membranes from the transmembrane. It has K+ and Glucose.
