How do neutral solutes move across the plasma membrane? Can the polar molecules also move across it in the same way? If not, then how are these transported across the membrane?
Neutral solutes move across the membrane by diffusion along the concentration gradient ie.., from higher concentration to the lower. ⭐. No, the polar molecules cannot pass through the non polar bilayer. ... A few ions are transported across the membrane against the concentration gradient.
