D. Transport processes within an eukaryotic cell There Are Two Main Classes of Membrane Transport Proteins - Carriers and Channels Like synthetic lipid bilayers, cell membranes allow water and nonpolar molecules to permeate by simple diffusion. Cell membranes, however, also have to allow passage of various polar molecules, such as ions, sugars, amino acids, nucleotides, and many cell metabolites that pass across synthetic lipid bilayers only very slowly. Special membrane proteins are responsible for transferring such solutes across cell membranes. These proteins, referred to as membrane tra
