The plasma membrane is a selectively permeable barrier built from a phospholipid bilayer studded with proteins. Small nonpolar molecules such as oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse across it freely, moving down their concentration gradients without help.
Water, however, crosses far more slowly on its own, so most cells rely on channel proteins called aquaporins to move it quickly in and out. These narrow pores let water molecules pass in single file while blocking ions and larger solutes.
This matters most in kidney cells, where aquaporin density controls how much water is reabsorbed from urine, and in red blood cells, which must swell and shrink instantly in capillaries of shifting osmotic pressure.
Which structure lets water cross the membrane quickly?
How it works
Upload, then just read
Drop in a PDF. Get a clean, reflowed reader with text-to-speech and word-by-word highlight — no fighting the original layout.
A quiz after every section
Retrieval practice beats re-reading. Each section ends with questions pulled from what you just read, graded instantly.
Review scheduled to your exam
Spaced repetition (FSRS) works backward from your exam date, so you know exactly what's due today — and whether you're on track.
Built on how memory actually works.
- Retrieval practice
- recalling an answer strengthens memory more than re-reading it ever will.
- Spaced repetition (FSRS)
- reviews land right before you'd forget, not on a fixed daily schedule.
- Pretesting
- being quizzed before you've fully learned something helps it stick later.
Tell us your exam date. We schedule backward.
Set a daily quota that fits your life. Every day, we show you exactly what’s due and whether you’re on track — never a guilt trip, just the next right review.
