Question

Since photosynthesis primarily takes place in the leaves, it is essential that glucose can be transported out of the

cell to other parts of the plant. The selectively permeable plasma membrane only allows certain molecules to
cross freely through the phospholipid bilayer.
Is glucose a molecule that is allowed to cross the selectively permeable membrane freely?

Answer 1

Answer: A

No, glucose passes through a channel protein with the concentration gradient via facilitated diffusion.

Answer 2

No it is to large of a molecule. It can not cross the membrane freely through simple diffusion. It moves across the membrane through facilitated diffusion. *Ignore the idiot who answered first, hope this helped
