Question #15
A TRUE
B FALSE
Question #16
A TRUE
B FALSE
Question #17
A false, because the rate of diffusion of nonpolar and polar molecules through the bilayer is essentially the same as long as the molecules are the same size.
B false, because polar molecules diffuse through less rapidly because the bilayer is polar throughout its width.

Question #20
A TRUE
B FALSE
Question #21
A Solute X will be unable to reach equilibrium because it is nonpolar.
B At equilibrium, X will cease movingacross the cell membrane.
C Solute X will reach equilibrium, but the concentration will be much higher on the inside of the cell because of the smaller volume.
D At equilibrium, the netflux of X across the cell membrane is zero.
E At equilibrium, movement of X across the membrane will be much faster in one direction than in the other.
