Simple Molecules State Types Move Membrane Diffusion Particles

Simple diffusion facilitates the passage of small, nonpolar, uncharged molecules like oxygen, and lipid-soluble substances such as steroids across membranes.

Small, non-polar, uncharged molecules like oxygen, and lipid-soluble molecules such as steroids, can move across a membrane by simple diffusion.

Front State which types of molecule can move across a membrane by simple diffusion.
Back Particles transported by simple diffusion:
  • Small, non-polar and uncharged molecules (oxygen molecules)
  • Lipid-soluble molecules (steroids)
