Question

Generally accepted features of the biological membrane include all of the following, except (A) Asymmetric arrangement of lipids (B) Rapid diffusion of inorganic ions across lipid bilayer (C) It comprises of both intrinsic and extrinsic proteins (D) Lateral diffusion of integral and peripheral proteins

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Polar substances because of charge cannot cross membrane easily. Only lipid-soluble substances can move across the membrane rapidly because of their hydrophobic nature. Special protein is needed to make ions to cross the membrane
