How Do Cell Membranes Regulate Water Transport?
š” The Answer
- Aquaporins are specialized channels for water transport across membranes.
- They allow rapid passive water movement driven by osmosis.
- Many aquaporins also transport small solutes selectively.
- Their presence enables cells to adjust water balance quickly.
- In kidneys, aquaporins regulate urine concentration.
