Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aquaporins are specialized proteins that facilitate the movement of water molecules across cell membranes. They allow water to move faster than other methods, such as diffusion through the hydrophobic interior of the membrane. The other choices listed do not specifically aid in the movement of water across membranes.
