Lipid-soluble molecules would be expected to cross the cytoplasmic membrane by which of the following processes?
A) osmosis
B) facilitated diffusion
C) diffusion
D) active transport
E) group translocation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lipid-soluble molecules can easily pass through the cytoplasmic membrane by diffusion, a passive process that requires no energy. Osmosis involves the movement of water molecules, facilitated diffusion requires membrane proteins, active transport requires energy, and group translocation involves the modification of the molecule being transported.
