QUESTION Oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other small molecules cross the plasma membrane through the process of facilitated diffusion, osmosis, diffusion, active transport, endocytosis, and exocytosis. QUESTION The net direction that an ion or molecule moves is dependent upon the size of the molecule, controlled by the temperature of the medium, controlled by the membranes in the vicinity, unpredictable because the movement is random, the result of concentration differences.

Which of the following is an example of facilitated diffusion? A. Sugar is transported into the cell via an energy-consuming process B. Hydrogen ions are pumped out of the cell against their concentration gradient C. Carbon dioxide exits the cell, passing directly through the cell membrane D. Water moves out of the cell, passing through channel proteins in the cell membrane

00:01 So the cell membrane is semi -permeable, which means it is selective on what it lets in and out.
00:12 And there are many different ways that a substance could enter or exit the cell membrane depending on what kind of substance it is.
00:18 So the question says carbon dioxide most likely enters a cell through which of the following processes? now in order for something to directly cross the membrane, to cross the lipid bilayer, only small, it has got to be small and uncharged, can go through unassisted directly across the bilayer.
00:41 So small, uncharged, molecules can pass through the bilayer.
01:06 So the cell, more importantly, carbon dioxide is actually very highly soluble in fat, which means it's going to have a really easy time passing the lipid bilayer.
01:22 So when we look at the choices, simple diffusion through the membrane, that's kind of what we're describing here...
