Question

small proteins and amino acids ____ diffuse through a lipid bilayer by themselves, without the aid of a channel or transporter. cannot can question 6 1 pts simple diffusion is used for: sucrose oxygen sugar

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Small proteins and amino acids are polar and relatively large compared to molecules that can pass through lipid bilayers by simple diffusion, so they cannot diffuse through unaided. Oxygen is a small, non - polar molecule that can pass through the lipid bilayer by simple diffusion, while sucrose and sugar are larger polar molecules that require transporters for membrane passage.

Answer:

  1. cannot
  2. oxygen
