Question

y muscle movements known as peristalsis. the the body lining, the inside of the small intestine is linedthe outer layers of cells are very thin, which allowsrients through the bloodstream.each villus is covered by microvilli, cellular membrane protrusions composed of a double layer of lipids. the diagram shows microvilli and the movement of lipid-soluble nutrients across the membrane.which best describes how lipid-soluble nutrients move across the membrane?○ they move through diffusion from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration.○ they move through diffusion from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.○ they move through active transport from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.○ they move through active transport from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration.

Explanation:

Lipid-soluble nutrients can pass through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane via simple diffusion, which is the movement of substances from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration without energy input. The diagram shows more lipid-soluble nutrients outside the cell, so they move inward down their concentration gradient.

Answer:

○ They move through diffusion from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.
