can small nonpolar molecules pass through the bilayer?
yes
can medium nonpolar molecules pass through the bilayer?
yes
can large nonpolar molecules pass through the bilayer?
yes
can small polar molecules pass through the bilayer?
yes
can medium or large polar molecules pass through the bilayer?
no :(
can any charged molecules pass through the bilayer?
no.
active primary transport uses
ATP
secondary transport uses
The electrochemical gradient
active transport moves against the concentration gradient, so does it go from low to high or high to low?
low to high
are polar molecules hydrophobic or philic?
hydrophilic
nonpolar molecules are hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
hydrophobic

The area of the membrane.
The “X” in fick’s equation is
Thickness of the membrane.
The “C” in fick’s equation is
Concentration Gradient
