Aquaporins
A) decrease the permeability coefficient of small polar molecules.
B) are more abundant in tissues with low water permeability.
C) maintain water permeability at a constant level.
D) may result in transient changes to the water permeability of tissues.
E) increase the active transport of water out of cells.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aquaporins facilitate the passive transport of water across cell membranes, leading to changes in water permeability. This can be transient, depending on the physiological needs and the presence or activation of aquaporins in the tissue.
