The movement of ions across a cell membrane that is permeable to those ions depends on

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ The movement of ions across a cell membrane that is permeable to those ions depends on the concentration gradient and the electrical gradient. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Concentration Gradient: Ions move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. ‖ ‖ b ⋮ Electrical Gradient: Ions also move towards an area of opposite electrical charge. ‖ ‖ c ⋮ Permeability: The cell membrane must be permeable to the specific ions for movement to occur. ‖ ‖ d ⋮ Facilitated Diffusion: If the ions cannot pass directly through the lipid bilayer, they may need the help of ion channels or carriers. ‖ ‖ e ⋮ Active Transport: If ions move against their concentration gradient, energy is required, usually in the form of ATP. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Ion movement across membranes ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ Ions move across cell membranes based on concentration gradients, electrical gradients, membrane permeability, and may require transport proteins or energy if moving against the gradient. ⚹◊What role do ion channels play in the movement of ions across a cell membrane?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
