The movement of molecules across a membrane requiring energy to be expended by the cell is called active transport. A good example of a cell employing...Become a member and unlock all Study Answers Start today.
The movement of a molecule across a typical plant cell (about50μm) takes approximately 2.5s. At this rate calculate how many years it would take for the movement of molecules over a distance of 1 m within a plant by diffusion alone?
The movement of molecules across lipid membranes: A molecular theory The movement of molecules across membranes is discussed in terms of thermal fluctuations in the hydrocarbon chains of the membrane lipids. The thermal motion of the hydrocarbon chains results in the formation of conformational isomers...

Guided by gut sensory cues, humans and animals prefer nutritive sugars over non-caloric sweeteners, but how the gut steers such preferences remains unknown. In the intestine, neuropod cells synapse with vagal neurons to convey sugar stimuli to the brain
Passive processes do not use ATP but do need some sort of driving force. It is usually from kinetic energy in the form of a concentration gradient. Molecules will tend to move from high to low concentrations by the random movement of molecules. There are 3 main types of passive processes....
of the BBB responsible for selective permeability to small lipophilic molecules [7]. These cells tightly bind together to prevent paracellular drug transport across the BBB and contribute to the high transendothelial resistance (TEER) that limits the passive diffusion of external compounds between the ...
Driven by the shift to a lower pCO2 environment, in the lungs, the system is reversed. Bicarbonate that enters the red cell via Band 3 in exchange for chloride is converted by CAII to carbon dioxide, which then diffuses out across the plasma membrane to be expired by the lungs. This ...
