Question:
Talk about passive flow of molecules through the plasma membrane.
Author: H KAnswer:
AKA diffusion, occurs due to concentration gradient (from side high salt concentration to low) through channels, transporters or lipids. Solute molecules move due to gradient energy and passive membrane- not making chemical or metabolic activity- thus not spending energy. Never accumelate salts instead establish equilibrium so that the media becomes isotonic. Movement continues at equal rates in both sides.
