1)As the concentration of substance A increases so does the rate of diffusion/uptake of substance A

increases. As the concentration of substance B increases so does the rate of diffusion of substance B
until it reaches a point where only a certain amount (constant) of substance B can be diffused

2) Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion

2)Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are almost the same thing, they both involve the movement
of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration until all the particles are
evenly distributed and neither of them requires ATP. The difference between them facilitated diffusion
and simple diffusion is, in facilitated diffusion, the molecules or ions move through a protein carrier
while in simple diffusion, the molecules just move through the bilayer.

4)The order in which the molecules diffuse through the lipid bilayer from easiest to hardest is carbon
dioxide, water, glucose and RNA. Carbon dioxide is the easiest to diffuse through the lipid bilayer
because it is small and non-polar. It moves across the lipid bilayer by a process called simple diffusion.
Water is the second easiest molecule to pass through the lipid bilayer. Even though water is a polar
molecule the charges are so small it doesn't affect its ability to pass through the lipid bilayer. water is
also a very small molecule. Glucose is a large, polar molecule and therefore can't pass through the lipid
bilayer without the aid of a channel protein. The process by which Glucose passes through the
membrane is Facilitated diffusion. Lastly RNA is the hardest molecule to pass through the lipid bilayer
because it has multiple charges and hydrogen bonds between the bases in its structure.

5)Firstly, phospholipids are major components of cell membranes. Phospholipids arranges themselves in
a way that the hydrophobic tails are facing inward and the hydrophilic heads are facing outer wards.
This occurs because the hydrophilic heads of the phospholipid molecules are drawn to the water fluids
of the cytoplasm while the hydrophobic tails arrange themselves away from the watery fluids. This
creates a lipid bilayer. The cell membrane also contain cholesterol which is a type of lipid that maintains
the fluidity of the membrane. The cell membrane contains proteins in its structure. Protein has areas of
their molecules that are hydrophilic and other areas that are hydrophobic. The hydrophilic areas of the
proteins reach into the watery fluids outer the membrane and hydrophobic parts lies in the inner
surface of the membrane. This arrangement holds the protein in place. These proteins have many
functions such as they act as receptors and recognition sites and they form channels which allows
hydrophilic substances to pass across the membrane.
