Which type of substance would face difficulty to pass through the cell membrane?

  1. Substance soluble in lipids
  2. Substance with hydrophobic moiety
  3. Substance with hydrophilic moiety
  4. All substances irrespective of hydrophobic and hydrophilic moiety

Answer

(3) Substance with hydrophilic moiety

Solution

The cell membrane is a lipid bilayer whose interior is formed by the non-polar (hydrophobic) tails of the lipids.

∴ Lipid-soluble substances (hydrophobic moiety) pass through it easily by simple diffusion.

As per NCERT, a few molecules move across the membrane without any requirement of energy, whereas polar molecules cannot pass through the non-polar lipid bilayer; they require a carrier protein of the membrane to facilitate their transport across the membrane.

∴ Substances with a hydrophilic moiety face difficulty in passing through the membrane.
