Simple diffusion The term simple diffusion refers to a process whereby a substance passes through a membrane without the aid of an intermediary such as a integral membrane protein. The force that drives the substance from one side of the membrane to the other is the force of diffusion. In order for substances to pass through a cell membrane by simple diffusion it must penetrate the hydrophobic core of the phospholipid bilayer. The types of molecules that can do this are themselves substantially

Discussion: 1. Peter was preparing some potatoes for cooking. He put some water in a pot and added some salt. He cut up the potatoes and put them in the salt solution. Then the telephone rang and he spent 30 minutes talking to George. When he returned to put the potatoes on the stove they were flaccid (soft). Explain what happened to the potatoes. The concentration of free-moving water molecules is higher in potato cells‚ the cytoplasm of the cell is hypertonic. The water molecule will flow from
