What would you expect to be a molecular property of the proteinaceous wall surrounding Microcystis vesicles which are gas,but not water,permeable?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A hydrophobic nature would be expected in order to prevent water from permeating the vesicles. This would also explain why they are gas-permeable, as gases are able to pass through hydrophobic barriers more easily than water. The presence of a charge is not necessarily relevant to the permeability of gases or water.
