How many of the following factors would affect the permeability of the cell membrane? • Size of molecules. • Lipid solubility of molecules. • Presence of transport channels. • Presence of ATP inside the cell.

In the case of membrane transport describe the different types of membrane transport and describe what is the major factor in moving ions, molecules, etc across the membrane. This could be whether it is low to high/high to low concentration or even utilizing ATP.

An important function of the inner mitochondrial membrane is to provide a selectively permeable barrier to the movement of water-soluble molecules and thus to generate different chemical environments on either side of the membrane. However, many of the substrates and products of oxidative phosphorylation are water soluble and must cross the inner membrane. How does this transport occur?
