Problem 2
Which of the following is a correct description of the intracellular side of the plasma membrane relevant to nutrient transport?
A
It is impermeable to water and small gases, preventing their diffusion under normal physiological conditions.
B
It consists mainly of cellulose fibers that create pores specific only to lipid-soluble vitamins.
C
It is hydrophilic throughout and therefore allows all polar solutes to diffuse freely without channels.
D
It faces the cytosol and has a hydrophobic core formed by fatty acid tails of phospholipids that resists passage of polar molecules.
