Q

What are the two factors that impact the rate of the simple diffusion and why?

A

Firstly, there is its molecular size, a big molecule will have a lot more difficulty passing throufgh a membrane that a very small ions.
secondly, its lipid solubility. Lipids tend to be hardly soluble in water and this fgactor makes the diffusion harder since the solubility will depends on the phospsholipids of the membrane.;

Q

What are the two proteins of facilitated diffusion?

A

Channel proteins and carrier proteins. Channel more for ions and water and Carrier more for molecule and amino acids .

Q

How does the water get drawn in the aquaporins?

A

The positively charged amino acids of the proteins draw the water into its canal and facilitate its diffusion across the membrane.
