Many kinds of molecules need to be transported across plasma membranes. However, the mechanism of transport depends on the properties of the molecules being transported. Compare mechanisms for moving 1) small, nonpolar molecules and 2) small, charged or polar molecules across a plasma membrane. Explain why these molecules must be transported in these ways due to their properties
