Part A Water can move quickly through the plasma membrane of some cells because the bilayer is hydrophilic. it moves through hydrophobic channels. it is a small, nonpolar molecule. water movement is tied to ATP hydrolysis. it moves through aquaporin channel proteins.
Assertion: A cell membrane shows fluid behaviour. Reason: A membrane is a mosaic or composite of diverse lipids and proteins.
It seems paradoxical that a lipid bilayer can be fluid yet asymmetrical. Explain.
