Question

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:

Diffusion is the passive movement of substances from an area of high - concentration to an area of low - concentration. Lipid - soluble nutrients can pass through the lipid - rich plasma membrane by simple diffusion. Active transport requires energy and moves substances against the concentration gradient (from low to high concentration). Since lipid - soluble nutrients move passively, they move from high to low concentration by diffusion.

Answer:

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